"Those Who Oversaw 26/11 Attack Must Be Brought To Justice": S Jaishankar

India has said that its efforts to sanction those involved in the 26/11 terror attacks have been blocked in the past for "political reasons", enabling them to walk free and organise further cross-border assaults against the country.

As India remembered victims and soldiers of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks on the 14th anniversary today, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar tweeted to say that "those who planned and oversaw this attack must be brought to justice".

"We owe this to every victim of terrorism around the world," the Foreign Minister said, sharing a short video that included pictures from the deadly attack that left 166 people dead and more than 300 people injured.

"It is incumbent on us, as responsible members of the international community to remember their trauma and to perseverance in our efforts to bring the perpetrators of terrorism to justice," Mr Jaishankar said.

The 1-minute-36-second long video ends with a message from Prime Minister Narendra Modi - "We consider that even a single attack is one too many. Even a single life lost is one too many. So, we will not rest until terrorism is uprooted".
