(IN): Terrorists are 'animals': SC judge

[Guest guest]

Just the other day my friend Jigme Gaton was wondering over how insensitive

a section of Indian Journalists are when it comes to covering issues

involving animals.

Below you can find the interpretation of 'animal' by a senior Judge of the

Hon'ble Supreme Court of India where he compares a 'Terrorist' with an

'Animal'.

 

Any suggestions as to should be tolerate such language and ignore the abuse,

if not what best should we be doing?

Terrorists are 'animals': SC judge

27 Jan 2009, 2130 hrs IST, PTI

 

 

NEW DELHI: A senior judge of the Supreme Court on Tuesday likened terrorists

killing innocent people to " animals " and said they cannot be allowed to take

benefit of human rights.

 

" Those who violate the rights of society and have no respect for human

rights cannot be a human, " Justice Arijit Pasayat said at a seminar on

terrorism here.

 

" We should not talk about human rights violation of terrorists because

terrorists are the people who kill innocent people with AK-47 and AK-56, " he

said, adding that " those who killed innocent people by no stretch of

imagination are human beings. They are worth not more than animals. "

 

Pasayat stressed the need for effective implementation of the new terror law

and said that " investigators and prosecutors should be trained properly in

this regard " .

 

He said cases relating to terror attacks should be taken on priority basis

as " it is the object of the Act " .

 

Solicitor General G E Vahanvati while referring to the November 26 terror

attacks in Mumbai said as a lawyer it would have been difficult for him to

defend lone surviving terrorist Amir Ajmal Kasab.

 

" If I would have been asked to defend Kasab, probably I would have refused, "

Vahanvati, who hails from Mumbai, said.

 

The solicitor general said he could not defend a person against his

conviction.

 

" If I go and defend a person against my conviction it would be unfair, " he

said.
