Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday paid homage to all those who had lost their lives, including the security personnel, in the dastardly 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.
Addressing the nation through the “Mann Ki Baat” monthly radio programme, Mr. Modi said the country could never forget the day, November 26, when the terrorists had struck. “But, it is India’s fortitude that made us surmount the ordeal; we are now quelling terror with full courage,” he said.
The Prime Minister said November 26 was significant on one more account, as the same day in 1949 the Constituent Assembly had passed and adopted the Constitution of India. Following his suggestion in 2015, when the 125th birth anniversary of Babasaheb Ambedkar was celebrated, it is observed as Constitution Day every year.
