Mumbai: Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, who has had a troubled past and is still hoping to attain freedom is not happy with the glorification of 26/11 terrorist Ajmal Kasab.Dutt is rather sad with the way Kasab is being turned into a hero, not consciously but by the very attention he is being given. In a recent interview to a news daily, the actor expressed his surprise at the same and exclaimed, "Why is the media making a hero of Ajmal? I don’t understand it. Ajmal Kasab is a terrorist! Yet, the media write about what he eats in jail, how he wishes to meet Amitabh Bachchan.... It’s so stupid. People like Kasab need to be dealt with seriously." Sanju, who is still fighting for his freedom, is also concerned about constant invasion of his privacy as well as the discrepancies attached to the news reports. "The media has the right to report the truth, they have the right to report facts. So yes, please report everything about me, if you have to... but get the facts correct. Don’t write that I am being tried for the ‘Mumbai Blast case’ when I’m actually being tried under the Arms Act. That’s wrong information." Sanjay has also said that it was the 26/11 attacks that made him get an urge to do something for the country.
