Apr 11, 2025
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 11 : Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday lashed out at Congress leader Digvijay Singh over the latter's controversial remark back in 2010 regarding the 26/11 Mumbai attack and said, "I dont respond to those who speak like idiots."
"First of all, I dont respond to those who speak like idiots. When Kasab was executed, and after that, when David Headley's statement was recorded in our judiciary, it became amply clear that this whole conspiracy was hatched in Pakistan," Fadnavis said.
"Those who propagate other conspiracy theories (about the involvement of RSS in 26/11), I don't want to respond to them. Now the prime conspirator is in our custody, and more things will come to light now." Fadnavis added.
In 2010, Digvijay Singh said that former ATS chief Hemant Karkare had told him telephonically before the Mumbai terror attack that he was under threat from right-wing groups over his handling of the Malegaon bomb blast case.
Singh had said that Karkare was targeted by RSS leaders and blamed his death on RSS.
Former ATS chief Hemant Karkare was killed in action in the wake of the horrific terror attacks of 2008 in Mumbai.
Meanwhile, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has placed the 26/11 Mumbai attack accused under 18-day custody. Investigators suspect that similar terror plots were devised for multiple cities across India. To piece together the full scope of the conspiracy, officials may take Rana to various locations, retracing events from 17 years ago.
According to the sources, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) is expanding its probe into the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, with plans to take Tahawwur Rana to various locations across India.
Rana landed in Delhi yesterday after the US extradited him to India.
On November 26, 2008, 10 Lashker-e-Taliba terrorists targeted civilians at the southern part of Mumbai, including Chhatrapati Shivaji Raliyway station, two hospitals, and a theatre. The terrorists also held hostages at three locations- the Nariman House and the luxury hotels Oberoi Trident and Taj Mahal Palace and Tower.
Terror gripped Mumbai for two days, and on November 28, Indian security forces gained control of the situation by killing nine terrorists and arresting one.
