The Spin

Pro-government narrative

Rana's extradition is a major diplomatic victory in bringing justice to the 26/11 Mumbai attack victims, as he was a key conspirator who provided crucial support to the terrorist operation through his business operations. His extradition symbolizes a step toward justice and affirms the principle that terrorism knows no borders.

Opposition narrative

While justice must be served, Rana's extradition may violate his legal rights amid concerns about due process and potential mistreatment in India's prisons. India must ensure he receives a fair trial under both domestic and international legal frameworks.
