India Against Corruption today welcomed the hanging of Ajmal Kasab at Pune's Yerwada Jail.

The execution will bring relief to the families of the victims of the 26/11 and hope to the countless who are still awaiting justice, IAC said in a statement. However, it said that the government should not have shrouded the hanging in secrecy.

"A transparent approach would have given a strong message to the world, a clear warning to terrorist groups, and most important, confidence to the citizens that the state is capable of dispensing justice. This much awaited execution could have been handled such that it would unite Indians in the fight against terrorism. On the contrary, the manner in which it has been handled has given rise to numerable conspiracy theories which could have been avoided," the statement said.
