26/11 talked about as it happened in Taj Hotel: Ahluwalia
New Delhi, Nov 26 (IANS) On the first anniversary of 26/11 Thursday, Rajya Sabha MP and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader S.S. Ahluwalia said the terror attacks were being talked about because they happened at the elite Taj hotel in Mumbai.
‘The media is very aggressive about the 26/11 incident. Only one year has lapsed. Such incidents are happening regularly in rural India,’ said Ahluwalia, who is also the deputy leader of the BJP in the Rajya Sabha.
‘You guys are talking about 26/11 only because it happened in the posh Taj Hotel,’ he told reporters outside parliament.
He said such incidents occur regularly in states like Jammu and Kashmir, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. ‘They are the worst affected,’ he said.
India’s financial capital Mumbai was under siege for 60 long hours after 10 Pakistani terrorists struck, killing 166 people dead and injuring many more. The terrorists targeted some of the important landmarks, including Taj Mahal Palace and Tower Hotel and the Oberoi Trident as well as the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus railway station.
