Extradited Lahore Man Faces Trial in India for 2008 Terror Attacks

After 16 years of diplomatic efforts, BJP claims victory as Jagdambika Pal lauds PM Modi for the extradition of Tahawwur Rana, a key conspirator in the 2008 Mumbai attacks. Rana, a Canadian citizen, faces multiple charges and NIA custody promises revelations about Pakistan’s alleged role in global terrorism.

In a significant diplomatic development, BJP MP Jagdambika Pal on Friday commended the government's efforts in bringing Tahawwur Rana, a key conspirator in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, to India. Speaking to ANI, Pal highlighted Prime Minister Narendra Modi's successful diplomacy as a crucial factor in this milestone, describing Pakistan as a 'nursery' for terrorism.

Rana, a 64-year-old Canadian of Pakistani origin, stands accused of involvement in the deadly attacks orchestrated by Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (LeT). The extradition, resulting from the concerted efforts of the Central Government and the National Investigation Agency (NIA), marks a significant step in seeking justice for the victims of the attacks.

Rana, brought to India following exhaustive judicial proceedings under the India-US Extradition Treaty, was presented before a special NIA court on April 10. This legal move opens the door to uncovering further details of the conspiracy and potentially exposing Pakistan's alleged complicity in fostering global terrorism. (ANI)
