Ajmal Kasab was hanged early morning on Nov 21 after President Pranab Mukherjee rejected his mercy petition on the 5th of November. The President's rejection had come after recommendations of the Union Home Ministry on the issue. Kasab's execution was a matter of formality after all these procedures were completed. The LeT terrorist was finally hanged at 7.30 a.m. Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid calls it as a game of moral values.
