Mumbai blasts perpetrators enjoyed 5-star hospitality in Pakistan: India at UN

India said at the United Nations on Tuesday that the criminal group responsible for the 1993 Mumbai bombings had not only been given state protection but also five-star hospitality, implicitly referring to Dawood Ibra, the head of the D company believed to be hiding. Xin is in Pakistan.

Ambassador T S Tirumurti, Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations, told the 2022 International Counter-Terrorism Conference organized by the Global Counter-Terrorism Committee that the link between terrorism and transnational organized crime must be fully recognized and actively addressed.

“We’re seeing criminal syndicates responsible for the 1993 Mumbai bombings, not only under state protection, but with 5-star hospitality,” he said.

Tirumurti’s remarks implicitly referred to D-Company and its head, Ibrahim, who are believed to be in hiding in Pakistan.

In August 2020, Pakistan for the first time acknowledged Ibrahim’s presence on its territory after the government imposed sweeping sanctions on 88 banned terrorist groups and their leaders, which also included the name of the underworld that India did not want. Thirumurti said the UN sanctions regime, including the 1267 Al Qaeda Sanctions Committee, is critical to international efforts to prevent terrorist groups from financing terrorist activities, terrorist travel and acquisition of weapons.

However, he expressed concern that the implementation of these measures remains challenging.

“All sanctions regimes established by the Security Council must ensure due process in their working procedures and decision-making. The decision-making process and listing/delisting measures should be objective, prompt, credible, evidence-based and transparent, and not based on political and religious considerations,” said the Indian ambassador.

He said that the recent Monitoring Group (MT) report on the asset freeze exemption process under resolution 2560 (2020) pointed to deficiencies in the asset freeze measures by member States, in part due to deficiencies in the Committee’s existing guidelines.

Ratan Tata, industry titan and national icon, dies at 86

Ratan Tata, who ran Tata Sons for more than 20 years as chairman, died at a Mumbai hospital.

Ratan Tata, the chairman emeritus of Tata Sons, has died, the group announced in a statement on Wednesday. He was 86. Ratan Tata, who ran the conglomerate for more than 20 years as chairman, had been undergoing intensive care in a Mumbai hospital since Monday.

“It is with a profound sense of loss that we bid farewell to Mr. Ratan Naval Tata, a truly uncommon leader whose immeasurable contributions have shaped not only the Tata Group but also the very fabric of our nation,” said N Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Sons, in a late night statement.

On Monday, the industrialist had in a social media post dismissed speculation surrounding his health and had said he was undergoing routine medical investigations due to his age.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to Ratan Tata, calling him a visionary business leader, compassionate soul, extraordinary human being.

“Ratan Tata endeared himself to people, thanks to his humility, kindness, unwavering commitment to making society better,” PM Modi said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

After graduating with a degree in architecture at Cornell University, he returned to India and in 1962 began working for the group his great-grandfather had founded nearly a century earlier.

He worked in several Tata companies, including Telco, now Tata Motors Ltd, as well as Tata Steel Ltd, later making his mark by erasing losses and increasing market share at group unit National Radio & Electronics Company.

In 1991, he took the helm of the conglomerate when his uncle J.R.D. Tata stepped down – the passing of the baton coming just as India embarked on radical reforms that opened up its economy to the world and ushered in an era of high growth.

Under Tata’s leadership, the group launched the Tata Nano, the world’s cheapest car, and expanded its software services arm, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), into a global IT leader.

Tata stepped down as chairman in 2012 but was later named chairman emeritus of Tata Sons and other group companies, including Tata Motors and Tata Steel. He briefly returned as interim chairman in 2016 during a leadership dispute.
