Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis thanked PM Narendra Modi at a Delhi press conference over the extradition of Tahawwur Rana from the United States of America.
Devendra Fadnavis, while addressing the media in Delhi, said,”It is a very good news that the accused of 26/11 terror attacks, Tahawwur Rana is being extradited from the United States after the state’s approval. I would like to thank honourable PM Narendra Modi Ji for making efforts to get the US govt to make this major move. As we all know, previously, we tried to get his confessions online which led to the proof of Pakistan’s involvement in the attacks. But, at that time, America had clarified that they would not extradite him as he was under their protection.”
“Although, he is a criminal of India and he should be punished, this was our motto. PM Modi’s efforts have led to the fulfilment of it. Now I feel justice for the heinous 26/11 attacks will be delivered,” said Fadnavis.
”Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah has convened a meeting to discuss the three new criminal laws that have been prepared. In this meeting, we discussed how many institutions, infrastructure and cases have been prepared in accordance with these three criminal laws. We also discussed the situation of those cases and how we are working on the new criminal law,” he said further.
CM Fadnavis also spoke about an important update regarding an online system (Video Conferencing) legal proceedings. “A new system has been notified, and now, from the jail, we can proceed with the case through an online mode, which will streamline the process,” he added.
He also mentioned the training model for the police force, stating, “We have successfully trained 2 lakh police officers, and 90% of the training has been completed. The remaining 10% will be completed by the 31st March of this month. The review of the entire process has been very successful.”
PM Modi Thanks US President Donald Trump
Also, PM Narendra Modi thanked Donald Trump for confirming the extradition of Rana. “A perpetrator of the Mumbai terror attack is being extradited for his interrogation and trial in India. I thank President Trump for expediting the process,” he said.
“I am pleased to announce that my administration has approved the extradition of one of the plotters and one of the very evil people of the world, having to do with the horrific 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack to face justice in India. So he is going to be going back to India to face justice,” Donald Trump told reporters at the White House.
