SC Judge slams human rights for terrorists

Magh Shuddha Dvitiya

New Delhi: Taking a strong stand against terrorism, the third most senior judge of the Supreme Court, Justice Arijit Pasayat on Tuesday said that terrorists don’t deserve to be given human rights.

Speaking at a seminar on terrorism Judge Pasayat lashed out at human rights activists. He rubbished the case of human rights violations of terrorists and said "terrorists who kill innocent people are animals."

Pasayat also said that those who kill innocent people with automatic weapons are not humans. He also virtually mocked human rights activists and said that animal rights should be invoked in the case of terrorists.

Meanwhile, Solicitor General Goolam Vahanvati also echoed the judge’s views. He also said that if he was asked to be Mumbai terror attack accused Kasab’s lawyer, he would have probably refused.

In December, the Chief Justice of India K G Balakrishnan had said that Ajmal Amir Kasab, – the lone terrorist arrested alive in the Mumbai attacks – should get a lawyer to defend himself so that "there is a fair trial".
