“We will build Mumbai into a truly global city. It is at that dream that the terrorists struck (but) they will never succeed but Mumbai will,” Singh said at a meeting with the industrialists and representatives of the entertainment industry.
Mumbai, he added, “symbolises the hopes of new India” and the country will spare no efforts to tackle terrorism and will ensure that such strikes are not repeated.
“I salute the people of Maharashtra for their enterprise and creativity,” he said.
