India said their efforts to ban the culprits of 26/11 attacks were stopped due to political reasons

India has said that its efforts to ban the conspirators and facilitators of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks were blocked in the past for "political reasons", allowing those responsible to roam free and carry out further cross-border attacks against the country.

India's Permanent Representative and Ambassador to the United Nations Ruchira Kamboj said terrorism continues to pose a "serious threat" to international peace and security. He said that groups affiliated and inspired by ISIS and Al-Qaeda are targeting civilians and security forces, especially in Asia and Africa, while carrying out their designs.

In his remarks at the joint briefing of the UN Security Council by the Chairmen of the 1267/1373/1540 Committees of the UN Security Council, Kamboj said that we should not forget that in November 2008, 10 terrorists entered the city of Mumbai from Pakistan through the sea route. They took place and continued to wreak havoc in the city for four days, in which 166 people including 26 foreign nationals were killed. With China repeatedly stalling efforts by India and the US to designate Pakistani terrorists and entities, Kamboj said our efforts to ban the masterminds and facilitators of these terror attacks in the past have been made for political reasons. has been blocked. They have been openly carrying out cross-border attacks against my country while pursuing their designs."

Kamboj, as the chair of the Counter Terrorism Committee (CTC) for 2022, said India has made "all efforts" to ensure that the committee is able to effectively fulfill its mandate. He said that the Government of India had the honor of hosting special meetings of the CTC in Mumbai and New Delhi last month.
