On the tenth anniversary of 26/11 Mumbai attack, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday blamed the Congress for the deadly attack. Speaking at a rally in poll-bound Rajasthan's Bhilwara, Modi said, "Ten years ago the Congress was in power at both the Centre and in Maharashtra. On November 26 the whole world was in shock because of a big terror attack in Mumbai. I remember at that time, the Congress used this attack to win elections in Rajasthan."

Modi said the same Congress is now questioning the surgical strikes conducted by the Army across the Line of Control (LoC). "Congress now questions surgical strikes. Will our commandos carry cameras to provide proof?" he asked at the rally. "India will never forget 26/11 attacks. It will never forget its culprits. I assure my countrymen that the law will complete its work," he said.

"Congress calls Naxals revolutionaries, issues them certificates. But have replied to terrorists, Naxals in their own language," said Modi.
