Attack on Kasab’s lawyer – Will she fight or not?
March 31, 2009 06:23 PM

Kasab’s lawyer is at the receiving end as angry protesters pelted stones at her house last night. This incident happened after Anjali Waghmaer was announced as Kasab’s lawyer.

The Shiv Sena party workers, along with the residents of Worli Police camp, where she resides were responsible for the incident. It is worth mentioning here that this is the place where the two police officers Shashank Shinde and Tukaram Ombale died during the 26/11 attacks.

Kasab’s lawyer

A party worker of Shiv Sena stated that the people were agitated as Waghmare is a police officer’s wife and she cannot take up with the terrorist who has killed innocent people and policemen too.

Sensing trouble Waghmare sent a letter stating her withdrawal. The mob later cleared after a lathi charge.

A senior legal counsel Shiv Sena Rahul Narvekar stated that the right to defend a terrorist in this particular case is a loophole in the system.

But the Home Minister Jayant Patil has a different view to this. He says, “We have to see that Kasab gets fair trial and therefore he needs to get a correct lawyer. By doing so Shiv Sena is prolonging Kasab's case and hence they are acting against national interest.”

He further added that Waghmare is prepared to take up the case.
