His lawyer, Abbas Kazmi, feels the terrorist has too much religion in his head, and should lighten up. He tells Barkha Vahi and Ranjitt Khomne what it's like to deal with India's most hated man
By taking up Qasab's case, Abbas Kazmi wants to aid the process of law and bring the 26/11 terror trial to its judicious conclusion
From being just another defence lawyer, 54-year-old Syed Ghulam Abbas Kazmi has now become a household name. And all thanks to one man Mohammad Ajmal Amir Qasab. Kazmi has donned the mantle of Qasab' defence lawyer in what is probably India's biggest terror trial.
Excerpts:
What does it feel like to defend Qasab?
It feels good. This case has global ramifications, and the trial is being watched globally.
