Khattar also appealed to the people, especially Dera followers, to maintain peace.
The probe panel would focus on six points including how many livestock had died and reason behind their deaths; whether these incidents could have been averted and who all are guilty.
Devika was one of the few teenage witnesses whose testimonies led to Kasab’s conviction and ultimately his execution. But being victims and witnesses of the 26/11 terrorist attacks carried a strange stigma for the family.
Tukaram Omble was an Assistant Sub-Inspector who was killed while confronting Ajmal Kasab in the Mumbai terror attack.
Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, a NSG commander, was killed during Operation Taj.
The 26/11 frame is an apt one to survey and take stock of India’s readiness and/or vulnerabilities today. Sheer shock and awe ensured it was a day of reckoning for India’s internal security apparatus: its strengths and weaknesses were on public display.
David Headley was one of the weakest links, but Indian authorities failed to sniff him out. That’s an important lesson in how to avoid another 26/11.
Pakistan cannot finish off the Islamic State and the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan without doing the same to groups the government is comfortable with
