Beed (Maharashtra) [India], April 10 (ANI): Senior Advocate and BJP leader Ujjawal Nikam, who was also the Special Public Prosecutor during the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack case, on Thursday said that the extradition of the accused Tahawwur Rana was a completely legal procedure.
Speaking to the media, the senior Advocate said, “This is a completely legal procedure. It is important to see what case is filed against him. I will not talk about it now. I will talk about it after the entire process is over.”
Meanwhile, Union Minister Nityanand Rai said that the Centre has been closely monitoring people who oppose the country since Prime Minister Narendra Modi assumed office.
He claimed that under the leadership of PM Modi and the guidance of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, terrorism is about to end in the country.
“Since Narendra Modi has become the Prime Minister, a close watch has been kept on those against the country. Under the leadership of PM Modi and the guidance of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, terrorism is about to end in the country. Stringent action has been taken against traitors,” Nityanand Rai told reporters in Patna.
Meanwhile, Eknath Omble, the brother of Ashok Chakra awardee and 26/11 hero Tukaram Omble, urged the central government to hang Tahawwur Rana on Thursday.
Ashok Chakra Awardee Tukaram Omble, a sub-inspector in Mumbai police, held onto terrorist Ajmal Kasab’s rifle, ensuring his arrest, but unfortunately fell to the bullets during the 26/11 terror attack.
“Many innocent people and policemen were killed. It was a painful night. Tahawwur Rana was the closest ally of David Headley, who was the mastermind of the attack – they all should have been hanged earlier… But it’s a big day for the country. I have a request from the government that he (Tahawwur Rana) should be hanged as soon as possible,” Eknath Omble told ANI.”
“He should be given such a strict punishment that those in Pakistan who facilitate such things should think twice before committing them. However, we tolerated the delay in Kasab’s punishment because it exposed Pakistan’s real face to the world,” he added.
Tukaram Omble, a Mumbai Police sub-inspector, was posthumously awarded the Ashok Chakra, India’s highest peacetime gallantry award, for his bravery during the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.
On the night of November 26, 2008, Omble played a crucial role in capturing terrorist Ajmal Kasab alive. Armed only with a baton, he confronted the gunman, allowing security forces to overpower Kasab, but he lost his life in the process. (ANI)
