Kolkata, Nov 11 : Union Finance minister Pranab Mukherjee on Thursday night said Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik has rightly commented that Ajmal Kasab, the lone surviving Pakistani terrorist in the 26/11 attack, should be hanged.
“He (Rehman Malik) has rightly said it,” Mukherjee told reporters at his residence here while commenting on Malik's remark that Kasab is a terrorist who should be hanged. Pakistan Interior Minister said at Addu in Maldives that Ajmal Kasab is a terrorist, a non-state actor and he should be sent to gallows.
Asked for his comment on Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's demand for repeal of Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) from some parts of the state and also the Army's reservation on such a demand, Mukherjee refused to comment.“I will not react to anybody's observation,” he said.
