Mumbai, Nov.26, (ANI): Minister of State for Human Resource Development Shashi Tharoor on Tuesday said India can never forget the 26/11 terror attacks.
"It is important to convey, that India will not forget 26/11," said Tharoor.
"Perpetrators of those horrifically killed on November 26, 2008 are still safe across the border. The ideology that sent them here is still prevailing, and we must not relax our guard, and we cannot afford to forget or, indeed, to forgive," said Tharoor.
"We must always be vigilant, because we face challenges both internally and externally," he added.
Earlier, Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde expressed confidence that Pakistan would take action quickly against the perpetrators of the terror attack.
An eight-member Pakistani judicial commission team arrived in India in September to conduct the much-delayed cross-examination of witnesses in the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
The Mumbai attacks were twelve coordinated shooting and bombing attacks across Mumbai, by members of Lashkar-e-Taiba.
On November 26, 2008, Ajmal Amir Kasab and nine other heavily-armed gunmen, who arrived in India by sea, attacked various places, including the Taj Mahal Hotel, Nariman House, Oberoi Hotel and Mumbai CST railway station, killing 166 people and injuring several others
Kasab, the only attacker who was captured alive, later confessed during interrogation that the attacks were conducted with the support of Pakistan's ISI.
He was hanged on November 21, 2012 and buried at Yerwada Jail in Pune. (ANI)
