Indian protestors burn a poster featuring the head of banned Pakistani charity Jamat ud Dawa, Hafiz Saeed during a protest in New Delhi on February 26, 2013. Protestors were demanding that Hafiz Syed be brought to India and hanged in the same manner as Ajmal Kasab, the only terrorist captured alive after the 2008 Mumbai attacks and Kashmiri separatist Afzul Guru, who was involved in a deadly attack on the Indian parliament in 2001.
New Delhi: Ajmal Kasab, the face of the 26/11 terror strike on Mumbai who was hanged on November 21, had begged for daya (mercy) from the President in his four-line clemency plea written in elementary Urdu, which was rejected.
The hand written petition dated 12 September, 2012, which has been made public more than a month after Kasab was hanged, shows glaring language errors.
The application has been provided to Lucknow-based activist Urvashi Sharma under the Right to Information Act.
