Fri Apr 11 05:03:03 UTC 2025: ## Modi’s 2011 Tweet Resurfaces After 26/11 Accused Rana’s Extradition

**New Delhi, April 11, 2025** – A 2011 tweet by Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticizing the previous government’s handling of the Tahawwur Rana case has gone viral following Rana’s extradition from the United States. Rana, a key figure in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, arrived in Delhi Thursday evening after exhausting all legal appeals against his deportation.

PM Modi’s tweet, expressing outrage at a US court’s 2011 decision clearing Rana of direct involvement in the attacks that killed 166 people, described the decision as a “major foreign policy setback” and an affront to India’s sovereignty. While the US court convicted Rana for supporting a terrorist group linked to the attacks, the PM’s statement highlighted the perceived inadequacy of the verdict.

The resurfaced tweet has sparked widespread praise on social media, with many users crediting PM Modi’s persistence in securing Rana’s extradition. The hashtag #ModiHaiTohMumkinHai (If there’s Modi, it’s possible) trended, reflecting public sentiment. Sanjeev Sanyal, a member of the Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council, tweeted simply, “He did not forget.”

Rana, a Canadian national of Pakistani origin, is accused of aiding the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) in planning the attacks. His alleged involvement was revealed by David Headley, another key accused, who testified to Rana’s assistance in obtaining a visa and establishing a Mumbai business front. Rana, who had previously served 14 years in a US prison before being released on health grounds, is now in the custody of India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) for 18 days. The extradition was confirmed during PM Modi’s February visit to the US.
