Victims of dastardly 26/11, Pathankot terror attacks yet to get justice: India

TIL Desk/World/United Nations/ India has long borne the brunt of cross-border terrorism, with victims of the dastardly 2008 Mumbai terror attack and the 2016 Pathankot terror act, perpetrated by Pakistan-based terror groups, yet to get justice, New Delhi’s envoy here has told the UN Security Council.

Speaking in the Security Council briefing on Threat to International Peace & Security Caused by Terrorist Acts’ on Wednesday, Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador TS Tirumurti reiterated India’s firm belief that terrorism in one part of the world is threat to peace and security of entire world.

He said that as a country that has long borne the brunt of cross-border terrorism, including the 2008 Mumbai terror attack and the 2016 Pathankot terror act, with victims of both these dastardly acts yet to get justice, India is acutely aware of the human cost of terrorism and remains fully committed to bringing the perpetrators of these terror attacks to justice.

While condemning terror attacks, our response should be unified, and unequivocal. We should not forget the fact that, even after 20 years of September 11 attacks, we have leaders who, without any remorse, continue to defend Osama Bin Laden as a martyr, he said.
