A 2011 tweet by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has resurfaced following the extradition of Tahawwur Rana, a key accused in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. In the tweet, Modi criticized the then UPA government's foreign policy after a US court cleared Rana of direct involvement in the attacks, stating it was a "major foreign policy setback" and a disgrace to India's sovereignty. Rana, a Canadian national of Pakistani origin, was extradited to India after a prolonged legal battle in the US. Upon arrival, he was arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and placed in 18-day custody. Rana is accused of assisting David Coleman Headley in conducting surveillance for the attacks, using his immigration consultancy as a cover. The extradition has been hailed as a significant step in India's pursuit of justice for the 2008 attacks that claimed 166 lives. (PC: INVC & Times Now)
