Following the extradition of key accused Tahawwur Rana in connection with the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, BJP leader and former Commando Surender Singh, who participated in the anti-terror operation during the 2008 events, stated on Thursday that executing him would serve as a strong message to Pakistan and terrorism.

He expressed, “Today marks a significant moment for our country. I extend my gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the American President, and all agencies involved in this extradition process. His hanging will be a powerful condemnation not just of terrorism, but also of Pakistan.”

Reflecting on the tragic events of the attack, Singh recalled that the terrorists were highly trained. He noted the danger posed to innocent civilians held hostage, making the operation at the Taj Hotel particularly critical for the Indian Navy Commandos who faced significant challenges in their mission.

With incredible precision, the Commandos successfully entered the hotel premises, rescuing 627 individuals after neutralizing the terrorists. Singh remarked, “During that operation, I eliminated two terrorists, but sadly, we lost Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, and five other Commandos were injured in the line of duty.”

He further elaborated that journalists risking their lives to cover the attack inadvertently assisted the terrorists’ handlers in Pakistan through live reporting.

Rana, accused of playing a pivotal role in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, is now in the process of being extradited to India. On November 26, 2008, ten Pakistani terrorists launched a series of coordinated assaults on a railway station, two luxury hotels, and a Jewish center, having infiltrated India’s financial capital via the Arabian Sea. The nearly 60-hour siege resulted in the tragic loss of 166 lives. Rana is closely linked to David Coleman Headley, the primary conspirator behind the attacks and a U.S. citizen.
