Union Minister Piyush Goyal has strongly criticised the Congress party over its handling of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, stating that the then government failed to take decisive action against the perpetrators. Speaking to ANI on Thursday, Goyal hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s "firm resolve" in bringing terror accused Tahawwur Rana to India to face justice.

“This is Prime Minister Modi’s determination to ensure that those who attacked our country are brought to justice and punished on Indian soil. Every Indian citizen is proud that this has finally happened,” Goyal stated. He took a pointed swipe at the Congress government, alleging that instead of holding the culprits accountable, they had “served biryani to Ajmal Kasab,” one of the key attackers arrested during the siege.
