The Congress today welcomed the Supreme Court verdict upholding the death sentence of Ajmal Kasab in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks case and demanded his “quick” execution.

“…Now,he should be given complete sentence quickly. Punishment should be executed quickly,” Congress General Secretary Digvijay Singh said reacting to the Supreme Court verdict on Kasab’s appeal against his conviction and sentence.

Upholding the death sentence of Kasab,the court said that waging war against the country was the primary and foremost offence committed by the Pakistani terrorist.

A Bench of Justices Aftab Alam and C K Prasad dismissed the plea of 25-year-old Kasab challenging his conviction and death sentence confirmed by the Bombay High Court.

The Bench rejected his contention that he was not given a free and fair trial in the case.
