A STRONG SIGNAL OF INDIA TO GLOBAL TERRORISM.

26/11 Paki Bird Ajmal Kasab hanged to death at Pune’s Yerawada Jail today…

Express news service  | Mumbai, |Wed Nov 21 2012 | 08:28 hrs ::  A few hours before The Indian Express reported that his mercy petition was rejected by President Pranab Mukherjee, Ajmal Kasab, the Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorist, was hanged at Pune’s Yerwada Jail where he was shifted earlier from Mumbai’s Arthur Road Jail.
Ajmal Kasab, the lone terrorist caught alive during the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, was hanged to death at 7.30 on Monday morning.
Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shine told media that Ajmal Kasab’s mercy plea was rejected by the President on November 5.
Earlier, Ajmal Kasab’s mercy plea was rejected by the government which had then sent its recommendation to the President.
Home Ministry had said that Kasab’s mercy petition was dismissed as he was involved in a grave crime of waging war against India that led to killing 166 people, including foreigners.
The 25-year-old Pakistani and nine other fellow Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists had landed in Mumbai on November 26, 2008 by sea from Karachi and had gone on a shooting spree at various places, carrying out the country’s worst terror attack. While Kasab was captured alive, the other terrorists were killed by security forces.
Kasab’s mercy petition was sent to the Home Ministry by the Maharashtra government in September after rejecting the plea.
After nearly a four-year-long legal battle, on August 29, the Supreme Court had confirmed the death penalty awarded to the LeT operative by the trial court and later upheld by the Bombay High Court. Upholding Kasab’s conviction, the apex court had said he killed without “the slightest twinge of conscience”. [Read full story here].

We must thank to our Patriotic President of India. No mercy to a ‘Foreign Terrorist’. Prez kept Balasaheb’s request. Dr. Panab Mukherjee is more couragious than Dr. Abdul Kalam.

Exclusive: President rejects Ajmal Kasab’s mercy plea

Amitav Ranjan | Indian Express | New Delhi | Wed Nov 21 2012 ::  President Pranab Mukherjee Tuesday rejected the mercy petition filed by Ajmal Kasab, the Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorist sentenced to death for his role in the November 26, 2008 terror attack on Mumbai.
The decision was taken following the advice of the union home ministry, a highly placed source told The Indian Express. “All the papers have been signed,” the source said.
Mukherjee’s decision comes nearly two months after the Maharashtra home department rejected Kasab’s mercy petition that had been addressed to the President. The department’s recommendation was sent to Rashtrapati Bhavan through the state chief minister’s office and the union home ministry.
Kasab was one of 10 Pakistani terrorists who came to Mumbai by boat from Karachi and attacked targets across the heart of the financial capital, killing 165 people and wounding scores. Before launching the attacks, they also killed the Indian captain of the boat they had hijacked off the coast of Gujarat.
Kasab had filed his mercy petition in September after the Supreme Court confirmed his death sentence on August 29. The apex court had held that the 26/11 carnage was an attack on India and Indians which deserved the rarest of rare punishment.
A bench of Justices Aftab Alam and C K Prasad had said that 25-year-old Kasab, the only attacker who survived the three-day outrage in Mumbai, had shown no remorse or the possibility of rehabilitation after his arrest, and in fact considered himself as a “hero and a patriotic Pakistani at war”. He had no feeling of pity and killed without the slightest twinge of conscience and the gallows remained the “only” punishment for him, the court had said.

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism!

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism: The Vedas refer to not 33 crore Devatas but 33 types (Koti in Sanskrit) of Devatas. They are explained in Shatpath Brahman and many other scriptures very clearly. "Yasya Trayastrinshad Devaa Ange Sarve Samaahitaa, Skamma Tam Bruhi Katamah Swideva Sah”. ~(Atharva Veda 10-7-13) Which means: with God’s influence, these thirty-three (supporting devta) sustain the world. In Brhadaranyaka Upanishad while discussing Brahman, Yajnavalkya is asked how many gods are there. He says that there are three hundred and three and three thousand and three gods. When the question is repeated? He says, thirty three. When the question is again repeated he says, six. Finally, after several repetitions he says ONE. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 1) The number 33 comes from the number of Vedic gods explained by Yajnavalkya in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad – the eight Vasus, the eleven Rudras, the twelve Adityas, Indra and Prajapati. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 2
