Mumbai: Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone terrorist captured in the Mumbai terror attacks, is getting an insight into the life of the apostle of peace, Mahatma Gandhi.
Kasab, kept in isolation in the high-security Arthur Road prison in central Mumbai, is reading Urdu translation ofMahatma Gandhi's autobiography My Experiments With Truth.
"Prisoners are generally given books as part of reforms and recreation programmes. Jail authorities have told us that Kasab has been given Urdu translation of Gandhi's book and he is reading it," TRK Somaiya, Programme Coordinator of Bombay Sarvodaya Mandal Gandhi book centre, said.
"I hope this will evoke a sense of regret in the mind of Kasab," he said.
Sarvodaya Mandal also conducts Gandhi Peace Exams and screening of the films on the Father of the Nation in jails of Maharashtra. "Recently, Mandal conducted Gandhi Exam in the Chandrapur district jail where some of the inmates appeared for it. We have received encouraging feedback from the inmates," said Somaiya.
Kasab was part of the group of 10 terrorists which attacked Taj Mahal Hotel, Oberoi Hotel, Chattrapati Shivaji Terminus Railway Station and Nariman House on November 26 last year. Over 160 people, including foreigners and policemen, were killed in the attacks.
