Kathmandu: As many as 40 participants participated in a candlelight march outside the Pakistan mission in Kathmandu on Friday to mark the 12th anniversary of the 2008 Mumbai terror attack incident.
The demonstrators walked in front of the mission for an hour, shouting slogans and carrying posters, protesting against the 26/11 Pakistan sponsored attack, ANI reported.
The protestors were chanting, "Atankwaad band Karo, band Karo! (Terrorism must stop)."
Nov 26, 2020 marked the 12th anniversary of the terror attack which left 166 people killed.

Eight of the attacks occurred in South Mumbai - at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, the Oberoi Trident, the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, Leopold Cafe, Cama Hospital (a women and children's hospital), the Nariman House Jewish community centre, the Metro Cinema, and a lane behind the Times of India building and St. Xavier's College.
