26/11 plotter Tahawwur Rana exposes Pakistan Army's terror links
UPDATED: Jul 7, 2025 23:50 IST
This episode of India First exclusively focusses on the explosive revelations by Tahawwur Rana, a plotter of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks and a member of the Pakistan army. Currently, in the custody of India's National Investigation Agency, Rana has confessed to being in Mumbai during the attacks and collaborating with Pakistan's ISI and Lashkar-e-Taiba. This confession highlights a significant intelligence failure and raises questions about Pakistani state involvement. The programme also discusses statements by Pakistan's former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on the possible extradition of Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azhar to India, and the resulting backlash within Pakistan. Experts analyse Pakistan's inaction against the perpetrators, presenting clear evidence of state involvement, including training by the Pakistani Navy and Army. They argue that Pakistan responds only to force, not diplomacy, and discuss potential punitive measures India could take, such as targeting terrorist camps and leveraging the Indus Waters Treaty. The discussion also examines global efforts to isolate Pakistan over its support for terrorism and recent comments by Pakistani leaders about potentially handing over terrorists, while expressing scepticism about any real change in Pakistan's stance.
