Congress Should Tell Nation Who Prevented Military Retaliation After 26/11 Attack: PM Modi in Mumbai
PM Modi accuses the Congress-led government of blocking military retaliation after the 2008 Mumbai attacks due to foreign pressure, weakening India’s fight against terrorism.
- On Wednesday, October 8, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanded Congress disclose who prevented India's military response after the 26/11 Mumbai attacks during the Navi Mumbai International Airport inauguration.
- Recently, Senior Congress leader and former Union Home Minister P Chidambaram said India’s armed forces were ready to retaliate after 26/11, but a foreign country prevented the strikes, and the UPA government chose diplomacy.

- Modi demanded Congress identify the foreign nation and official involved, saying the public has a right to know, and contrasted past restraint with today's strikes inside terrorists' homes during Operation Sindoor.
- Highlighting the city's role, Modi said Mumbai, India's financial capital, was targeted in 2008 and the `Mumbai One` app will boost connectivity with the new airport and metro.
