NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi's post from 2011 suddenly went viral on X after India extradited Mumbai attacks terror accused Tahawwur Rana on Thursday.
Netizens shared PM Modi's old post on X, in which he had criticised the UPA government's foreign policy after the US cleared Tahawwur Rana of charges related to cooperating in the deadly 26/11 rampage in Mumbai.
"US declaring Tahawwur Rana innocent in the Mumbai attack has disgraced the sovereignty of India & it is a 'major foreign policy setback,'" PM Modi had said.
Netizens lauded PM Modi's commitment, with one user commenting on the post, "Another promise has been fulfilled today."
"Modi was worried about India and its interests passionately way back in 2011," another user wrote.
This comes as a multi-agency team, led by officials from India's National Investigation Agency (NIA), arrived in Delhi on Thursday evening with Rana, just days after the US Supreme Court rejected the Pakistani-Canadian national's appeal against his extradition.
During Prime Minister Narendra Modi's United States visit in February, US President Donald Trump announced his administration would extradite Rana to India.
The 64-year-old had served in Pakistan's Army medical corps before emigrating to Canada in the late 1990s, where he started an immigration consultancy firm. He later moved to America and set up an office in Chicago.
As many as 166 people were killed and 238 injured in the deadly attacks carried out by a group of 10 Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists, who were Pakistanis, on a railway station, two luxury hotels, and a Jewish center after they sneaked into India's financial capital through the Arabian Sea. The attacks, which began on the evening of November 26, 2008, ended on the morning of November 29.
Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone terrorist to be captured alive, was tried and found guilty. He was hanged in November 2012.
