Prime Minister Modi and President Trump held a detailed discussion on the ‘global crisis of terrorism’. Both of them emphasized that safe targets of terrorists should be abolished from every corner of the world. The joint statement issued after the meeting said, “Accepting the shared desire to bring harm to our citizens in the dock of justice, the US declares that Tawavur Rana has been approved to extradite Rana. The leaders have been approved. The leaders have been approved. Has called Pakistan to bring the criminals of 26/11 Mumbai and Pathankot attacks to the dock and ensure that its land should not be used to carry out terrorist attacks across the border. “
Approval of extradition of Tehwavur Rana
Pakistani -origin businessman Tawwur Hussain Rana is accused of involvement in the 2008 Mumbai attacks, killing 166 people, including six Americans. Rana helped Pakistani terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba. He is related to Pakistani-American terrorist David Coleman Headley, who was the main conspirator of the attacks and is also accused of having a close relationship with Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
The statement mentions the commitment of the two leaders to strengthen cooperation against terrorist threats like al-Qaeda, ISIS, Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba. Shafkat Ali Khan said that Pakistan is also very concerned about the transfer of military technology to India. Such steps increase military imbalance in the region and weaken strategic stability. They are not helpful in achieving permanent peace in South Asia. “
