Top Madhya Pradesh cop hails Kasab as role model for good training

INDORE(MP): A top Madhya Pradesh cop Rajendra Kumar raised a few eyebrows today when he hailed Ajmal Kasab, the lone surviving Pakistani gunman involved in the Mumbai terror attack, as a good role model for training with passion.

Addressing a training camp, Rajendra Kumar, Inspector General of Police (Special Forces), cited the example of 21-year-old Kasab to buttress his point on importance of undergoing training with passion. "If you are trained well you can do anything," he said. A total of 166 persons were killed in the terror attack in November 2008.

"An example is the Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Kasab. He just studied upto Class eight and had just one year training. With this he could operate weapons and gadgets and GPS devices.

He could do this because he had passion and he trained very well. He could operate technology well because he trained himself well," Rajendra said.

The top cop went on to say that "Kasab is only eighth standard passed. Still he can use all sorts of weapons".

"He (Kasab) had the zeal in him. Can't we have the same like his. We are more educated than him, we are more able than him," he added.

"Learn from Kasab how to handle weapons," Rajendra added.
