PM Modi on 26/11

PM Modi paid tributes on the 15th anniversary of the 26/11 attacks.

“We can never forget November 26. It was on this day that the most heinous terrorist attack took place in the country. Terrorists had shaken Mumbai and the entire country. But it is India’s capability that we recovered from that attack and now we are also crushing terrorism with full courage,” he said.

The prime minister also noted that November 26 is also important for another reason in 1949, the Constituent Assembly adopted the Constitution of India on this day

“I remember when we were celebrating the 125th birth anniversary of BR Ambedkar in 2015, the idea came that November 26 be celebrated as Constitution Day. I extend wishes to all on Constitution Day,” he said.
