Salaskar's daughter wants death sentence for Ajmal Amir
The daughter of slain encounter specialist Vijay Salaskar, who was killed during the Mumbai terror strikes exactly a month ago, on Friday called for death sentence to Ajmal Amir Iman, the lone terrorist captured in the attack on November 26.
"It (killing of Vijay Salaskar) angers me. I feel that the worst death sentence should be given to him (Ajmal)," his daughter Divya Salaskar said reacting to the death of her father during the shoot-out with the terrorist.
Describing her father as her life's "control room", Divya said she had time and again fallen back on Vijay Salaskar if anything went wrong in her life.
"On my cell phone, his name is entered as 'control room'. So I knew that if I have someone as the control room, he will take care of everything for me. It (his killing) was a major setback. Just three or four hours earlier, we had our dinner together. How is it (his death) possible?" she wondered, recalling her father.
What angered her the most was the lack of weapons and protective equipment for the police officers and men, who were fighting the terrorists on the fateful day, Divya told a news channel.
"How can you face a terrorist with a small service revolver? If every policeman were given an AK-47 or an AK-56 in his hand, even the terrorist would have thought twice before striking in Mumbai," she said.
Meanwhile, Kavita Karkare, wife of ATS chief Hemant Karkare, who too fell a martyr during the Mumbai terror siege, told a meet on secularism in the metropolis that her family was quite religious and she personally believed that all religions preached peace.
"It (killing of Vijay Salaskar) angers me. I feel that the worst death sentence should be given to him (Ajmal)," his daughter Divya Salaskar said reacting to the death of her father during the shoot-out with the terrorist.

death sentence for ajmal kasab is not a solution to end terrorism...hang zakiur rehman lakhvi or other lashkar operttives if u can. young deprived, confused and poor men are being brainwashed by these leaders for jihad by a distorted version of islam. if these leaders cannot be eliminated, terrorists will continue to be produced. hanging ajmal is no harsh message for the terrorists as most of them are suicide attackers and are not afraid of death. instead the ideology of ajmal should be tried to change. we should keep in mind that an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. adiing to this, i salute our brave policemen and others who gave their lives in the mumbai carnage.
