'No, I will never forget': Anand Mahindra pays heartfelt tribute to 26/11 martyrs

It has been 14 years since Mumbai, the financial capital of India witnessed one of the deadliest terrorist attacks on 26 November 2008. While the incident came as a big jolt for the country’s security forces and exposed the glaring gaps in security and surveillance, it also brought people’s attention to one of the most threatening challenges in recent times. Though it is worth mentioning that it was with the efforts of countless security personnel that none of the 10 Pakistani terrorists escaped as all were taken down by forces, except one, Ajmal Kasab, the only one to be caught alive. However, many innocent lives including those of civilians and security personnel were lost on that date. At a time when people of Mumbai observe the 14th anniversary of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack and are remembering the brave martyrs, Mahindra Group chairperson Anand Mahindra also joined in the league and shared his heartfelt tributes. Taking to Twitter, Anand Mahindra shared a picture of the 18 security personnel and wrote, “No, I will never forget. But it’s not the horror or the terror that I will remember. It’s these Heroes who I will remember and who will remain in my heart and head forever.”

As soon as he shared his post, many took to the comment section and paid their tributes. One wrote, “Very true Sir. Our Indian heroes who fought and died for the country. Great warriors”, while another person commented, “These are true heroes who fought with terrorists till their last breath.” Check some more reactions:
