Rs 10 Crore bill received for looking after Mr. Kasab

It's been about a year since i found time to add something to my blog. The main reason being the blog sites being blocked in my prevoius office. But not now. And this time also its Mr. Kasab again, who has brought me back to write something on my blog..Such an Inspiration right..:)

Recently Maharashtra government received a bill of about Rs 10 Crore towards reimbursement of looking after Kasab. Instead of thinking about is that worth spending that large amount on the terrorist, the Maharashtra Government is writing a letter to the Central government that it cant bear the entire amount and the Central government should help them by giving some money as saving kasab is a national issue, not maharashtra's alone.

Well, i am out of words to tell about the mentality of the government officials. They are asking the central government to give them money to save kasab, instead can't they think that spending such an amount of money on a terrorist is useless. Can't they hang him soon and use the same money for other development rather than wasting money on a terrorist.

May be they dont want him to get hanged, so that they can eat the money using Kasab's name. Bigger Terrorists i can say.

Maharashtra government is stunned after receiving a Rs 10 crore bill from the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) towards reimbursing expenses on guarding 26/11 terrorist Ajmal Kasab, lodged in the Arthur Road jail here.

Confirming that the state government did receive the Rs 10 crore tag from ITBP, Medha Gadgil, principal secretary, Home, said that the Maharashtra authorities are writing to the ITBP.

"We are in the process of writing to them. We will explain that 26/11 terror attacks is not only an issue limited to Maharashtra but a national issue," she said.

The state government received a request for reimbursement of Rs 10.87 crore from the Director-General, ITBP, New Delhi, R K Bhatia for expenses incurred between March 28, 2009 and September 30, 2010.

"What Kasab and his associates did is an attack not only on Mumbai but an attack on India and it is unfair to ask the state government to bear the burden (for ITBP guarding Kasab)," another senior Home department official said.

The ITPB was deployed in the jail in the run-up to the 26/11 trial, held in a special sessions court set up in the jail premises.

Last year, the home department sought an extension for the deployment of the ITBP which comprised around 200 commandos, armed with sophisticated weaponry and communication equipment, guarding Kasab 24x7.

The ITBP team was deployed for the trial period, after which the state government wrote to the Centre, seeking an extension, the official said.
