On April 7, the Supreme Court of the United States rejected Tahawwur Rana's plea to stay his extradition to India. Rana filed an emergency application with Chief Justice Roberts on March 20, 2025, seeking a stay on his extradition.
"It's good. Those involved in acts of terror should be strictly punished. Even the American courts did not entertain his stay plea. He will have to come to India and be punished for his crimes," Shukla told ANI.
Rana is being extradited from the United States in connection with a conspiracy case registered by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in 2009 related to the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.
Talking at the CNN News 18 Rising Bharat Summit 2025, he said, "There's nothing really new that I can say on the Tahawwur Rana issue. Obviously, we welcome the decision of the American legal process."
"If he comes, it is good. Strict action should be taken against such people. They had said a lot of things. They talked about bringing back Dawood (Ibrahim). What happened? Until he is brought here, how can we believe anything? Because Modi is not a trustworthy Prime Minister," Patole told A
