NEW DELHI: Foreign minister S Jaishankar on Tuesday said the 26/11 terror attacks would remain forever etched in Indian memory, even as human rights activists protested in front of Pakistani embassies in Washington and Tokyo for sponsoring the terror attack 11 years ago.
Describing 26/11 as a "horrific assault on our democratic freedoms", Jaishankar said: "Terrorism remains the single biggest threat to international peace and security and all those who stand for democracy, constitutionalism and human rights must stand together in our fight against this menace."
Meanwhile, Baloch, Sindhis, Mohajirs, Pashtuns and people of occupied Gilgit Baltistan gathered in front of Pakistan's embassy in Washington DC to protest against Islamabad's involvement in the terrorist attack on Mumbai in 2008. A group of human rights activists protested in front of the Pakistani embassy in Tokyo as well.
Japanese citizen Hisashi Tsuda, who was on a business trip to Mumbai, was one of the victims of the 26/11 attack. The US later announced a $10 million bounty on Hafiz Mohammed Saeed, the mastermind of the attack. India banned Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jamaat-ud-Dawa while the US, the UK, the EU, Russia and Australia too banned LeT. But Saeed continues to live under the unofficial protection of the Pakistani establishment, despite the fact that Islamabad faces strict scrutiny and serious warnings from the Financial Action Task Force for its lack of action to curb terror financing.
