New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi recalled the 26/11 terrorist attacks and reiterated that every terrorist organization challenging India's security will be dealt with a befitting reply. Addressing the Constitution Day celebrations at the Supreme Court, PM Modi said "We cannot forget that it is the anniversary of the 26/11 terrorist attacks in Mumbai". In his speech, the Prime Minister paid his respects to the people who lost lives in the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
"I reiterate the resolve of the country that every terrorist organization challenging India's security will be dealt with a befitting reply," said the PM.
On November 26, 2008, 10 Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists from Pakistan entered Mumbai via sea and carried out coordinated attacks across multiple high-profile locations, including the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, Oberoi Trident Hotel, CST Railway Station, and Nariman House. As many as 166 people lost their lives and over 300 were injured in the biggest terror attack on Indian soil.
PM Modi also said that the 75th Constitution Day is a subject matter of "immense pride" for the nation, and he bows down to the Constitution and all members of the Constituent Assembly. Constitution Day of India, also known as Samvidhan Divas, is celebrated on November 26 every year to celebrate the adoption of the Indian Constitution.
