He said, “We must not blame each other and nothing will be achieved by this. We feel the pain of 26/11 as we have seen our city being attacked. The attackers were not from Norway or Egypt, they were from your country and they are still here. If this grievance is in the heart of Indians, then you should not feel bad about it.” He reminded the people of Pakistan of the heinous crime committed by their own people and asked them to own up to it. His words were powerful and resonated with the audience.
