Following the extradition of Tahawwur Rana, a key accused in the 26/11 attacks, to India, the BJP asserted on Thursday that the Congress party failed to take adequate measures to punish terrorists. They attributed this extradition to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “foremost and paramount commitment” to national security and the country’s interests.

Union Minister Piyush Goyal addressed reporters in Mumbai, stating, “During the Congress government, terrorists targeted this very hotel (Taj Palace) where we currently stand, resulting in the loss of lives. Yet, the Congress did nothing to hold these terrorists accountable. It was the determination of PM Narendra Modi to ensure that those who threaten our nation face severe consequences…”

He stressed, “The perpetrators of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks will ultimately face justice in India under our legal framework.”

Union MoS Home Nityanand Rai also spoke to the media in Patna, emphasizing, “Under Modi’s leadership, we have maintained vigilant oversight of those posing threats to our nation. With the guidance of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, we are on the path to eradicating terrorism in the country. Strong action has been taken against traitors.”

Amit Shah, the Union Home Minister, hailed Rana’s extradition as a significant achievement for Prime Minister Modi’s administration during a summit. He remarked, “Tahawwur Rana’s extradition reflects the success of Prime Minister Modi’s diplomatic efforts.”

BJP leader CR Kesavan referred to the extradition as a “monumental triumph,” attributing its success to Modi’s strong stance on national security and anti-terrorism. “This extradition symbolizes a major milestone and clearly demonstrates Prime Minister Modi’s unwavering commitment to combat terrorism and punish those who threaten India’s sovereignty,” Kesavan stated in a self-recorded video. He also criticized the Congress party for their perceived weakness and indecision.

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi has called for the harshest penalty for Rana, suggesting he should be executed in a public square in Mumbai to deter any malicious intentions towards India. “After a prolonged wait of 16 years, he is being brought to justice in India… He should face a death sentence in a crowded square in Mumbai to instill fear in those who harbor evil intentions against our nation,” Chaturvedi conveyed to a news agency.

Rana, implicated as a key orchestrator of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, is finally being extradited to India after a long 16-year wait.
