Union Home Minister Amit Shah and other leaders honored the victims and security personnel who died during the terrible events on the sixteenth anniversary of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.

HM Shah also emphasized the Modi administration's endeavors to establish India as a world leader in counterterrorism measures.


Ten Pakistani Lashkar-e-Taiba agents carried out a series of coordinated terrorist attacks known as the 26/11 attacks, which targeted several important Mumbai locations, including the Taj Hotel, Oberoi Trident Hotel, Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, Leopold Cafe, Nariman House, Cama Hospital, and Metro Cinema.

More than 300 people were injured during the three days of terror, and 166 people were killed, including 20 security personnel and 26 foreigners.

Taking to X, Home Minister Shah expressed his condolences and pride in India's strengthened stance against terrorism.

"On this day in 2008, cowardly terrorists shamed humanity by killing innocent people in Mumbai. I pay my emotional tribute to the soldiers who attained martyrdom while fighting terrorists in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks and salute those who lost their lives," he wrote.

Highlighting the government's approach, Shah stated, "Terrorism is a blot on the entire human civilisation. The Modi government's 'zero tolerance' policy against terrorism has been appreciated by the entire world, and today India has become a world leader in anti-terrorism initiatives."

BJP National President J.P. Nadda also paid his tributes, acknowledging the bravery and sacrifices made by the victims and security forces.
