In a tweet, Thackeray said the terror attack was a clear example of the "cowardly mindset" of terrorists.
२६/११ च्या दहशतवादी हल्ल्यातील शहीद वीर व बळी पडलेल्या नागरिकांना मुख्यमंत्री उद्धव बाळासाहेब ठाकरे यांनी विनम्र अभिवादन केले आहे. तसेच हल्ल्याविरोधात निकराचा लढा देणाऱ्यांविषयी कृतज्ञता व्यक्त करत हा हल्ला दहशतवाद्यांची भ्याड मनोवृत्ती स्पष्ट करणारा होता अशी निर्भत्सना केली आहे.

"I express gratitude towards the security personnel, who attained martyrdom, and citizens who lost their lives in the attack," he said.
On November 26, 2008, ten Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists from Pakistan arrived by sea route and opened fire, killing 166 people, including 18 security personnel, and injuring several others during the 60-hour siege in Mumbai.
In another tweet, the chief Minister recalled the contributions of Dr B R Ambedkar and other founding fathers of the Constitution on the occasion of the National Constitution Day.
"Constitution Day at a time when the country is observing 75th anniversary of independence is very significant," he said, adding that the Constitution puts citizens, their interests and rights at the centrestage.
Constitution Day is celebrated to commemorate the adoption of the Constitution by the Constituent Assembly in 1949.
