Terrorists striking India will be brought to justice: Tewari

Panaji, Nov 21: Information and Broadcasting minister Manish Tewari has said that the hanging of 26/11 attacker Ajmal Kasab has sent a message that perpetrators of terror attacks on India would be brought to justice while following the due process of law.

"A very dastardly terrorist attack took place. Innocent people lost their lives, there was a fair investigative process which culminated in a three tier judicial process at the end of the day. The law has taken its course," Tewari told reporters in Panaji on Wednesday.

He was asked for a reponse to comments by BJP leaders that the execution of Kasab was a delayed. "It would not be proper to view this in terms of time taken. The larger message is that if at all there is a terrorist incident of a terrorist attack which is perpetrated those people who are responsible would be brought to justice," he said.

Tewari was replying to a question if the government would also act in the matter related to the Afzal Guru, who stands convicted in Parliament attack case.

"If at all there are specific qustions with regard to the investigative or the judicial process in any other terrorist- related activity, I am sure that the appropriate ministry at the appropriate time will address it to your satisfaction," he said.
