The great indian political comedy starring Kasab

Its been long since i wrote something in my blog but atlast sheer boredom drove me to write this one.Even contemplated writing about Madoff and hedge funds but lack of knowledge in finance put an end to that :). So what else should be the topic than the one on everyone's mind at this moment.

Welcome to the great Indian politics:
I hope this will be as much soul stirring as its stress relieving.What prompted me to write this one especially was the article in TOI stating that 31 crores have been spent on a person who has mercilessly indulged in killing of innocents to make sure justice is meted. At long last even though if due justice arrives but at what cost? and will there be the same maligned affected souls around when the long overdue justice arrives. I for one strongly believe that this should have been put to rest long back with the offender's death but India being India will take some time until the aforementioned happens. So for those who believe that justice is round the corner, I do sincerely stand by you for that to happen and in the meanwhile till then let me be logically stupid.
Sincere apologies if anyone stands offended by whats gonna unravel now.

Fast forward to Jan 25th 2018:
Headlines:Kasab's lawyer demands legal papers be translated in Pashto:
The ongoing case in Mumbai terror attack took a new twist with Kasab's lawyer insisting that the legal papers be translated in Pashto the only language Kasab is comfortable with.
Hearing the argument Justice Khoobchand ordered the prosecution to provide the papers in Pashto so that the defendant can be comfortable with the happenings in court.
The Indian government immediately formed a three man commission to look into this and have informed the court that since the legal documents ran into thousands of reams the translation could take 2 years to complete.Also a high level team of language experts will be working across the clock to make this process as slick as possible.

Headlines:The man who shot Kasab is dead:
The ongoing case in Mumbai terror blast took an intriguing turn with the photographer who shot with his camera the killing spree of Kasab announced dead on arrival in Mumbai's Breach Candy hospital.He had complained of severe heart pain.He was 85.He is survived by his wife,sons and Ajmal Kasab.
With the death of the photographer,it is now argued that the photograph should not be considered an important evidence.
Ajmal's lawyer argued that"with the death of the photographer the validity of the photo also cease to exist and hence cant be considered as an important evidence from here on"
nail on the head maybe.

May 26th 2035:
Headlines: Ajmal becomes a grandpa.
Ajmal Kasab the sole survivor of Mumbai terror attack today became a grandpa with his daughter begetting a son in Karachi.
For those who are unaware of Ajmal,it maybe recalled Ajmal was caught red handed pumping bullets on innocents in Mumbai in 2008 and has been in Arthur Road prison since.He got married 25 years before when he was new to this place.The Prime Minister of India has announced that this will usher in a new era of peace with our erstwhile neighbors and this news will relieve some tension that has been building of late.

Sep 20th 2055:
Headlines: Ajmal Kasab dead and fast track court set to expedite the case
Ajmal Kasab was found dead in his sleep in the hi tech villa of the heavily guarded Arthur road Jail.He is survived by his fifth wife.
In a related development,the Home Minister had ordered the case to be expedited in a Fast track court so that the culprits can be dealt with the long arm of the law.

So all's well and that ends well.

Hope we get some sort of justice sooner than what i presumed.

Jai Hind!!
