Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone surviving terrorist of the Mumbai carnage, should be hanged at the Gateway of India to pay a 'real tribute' to the martyrs killed while saving lives during the attacks, daughter of a slain constable has demanded.
"It would be insulting to our martyrs if Ajmal is let off on humanitarian grounds without any punishment," Vaishali, daughter of Tukaram Ombale, who was killed during the terror siege, said in an interview to Shiv Sena mouthpiece 'Saamna' on Friday.
"Why should he not get punished while my father died fighting Ajmal without thinking about the family?" she asked. Vaishali also rubbished the arguments about Ajmal being young and, therefore, he should not be punished.
She said the terrorists have killed nearly 200 innocent people, including 16 policemen.

"In fact, not punishing Ajmal would encourage the terrorist organisations to send even younger ones in the age bracket of 15-16 years with guns to kill more Hindus," she said.
