Congress' Tukde-Tukde Mascot Kanhaiya Kumar Mocks Tahawwur Rana's Extradition

Congress leader Kanhaiya Kumar, while touring Bihar as part of the ‘palayan roko, naukri do padayatra’, on Thursday, claimed that the extradition of 26/11 Attack mastermind Tahawwur Rana, from the United States is being used by the BJP as a distraction tactic to shift public focus away from the central government’s unfulfilled commitments.

In his words, “Since the BJP has no achievement worth the name, it tries to divert public issues under one pretext or the other. The Waqf Bill was just another such example. The government claimed it was bringing the legislation for the benefit of poor Muslims. Who will believe this, coming from a dispensation that does not let members of the community to offer’ namaz’ on their own rooftops?”

Tahawwur Rana Sent to 18-Day NIA Custody After Successful Extradition from the US

The 26/11 plotter Tahawwur Rana, the alleged mastermind behind the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, has been placed under 18-day custody of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) following his extradition from the United States on Thursday. The NIA, which formally arrested Rana upon his arrival, had initially requested a 20-day remand to conduct an in-depth interrogation aimed at uncovering the broader network involved in orchestrating the 2008 attacks — including possible links to Pakistani state actors.

After the court approved an 18-day remand, Rana was taken to the NIA headquarters under strict security. In an official statement, the NIA confirmed that during his custody, Rana will be extensively questioned to expose the full extent of the conspiracy behind one of India’s deadliest terror attacks, which claimed 166 lives and left over 238 people injured.
