Prime Minister Narendra Modi Monday said his government was looking for an opportunity to bring to justice the perpetrators of the 26/11 attack, as he expressed solidarity with families of the 166 people who lost their lives during the carnage.

Modi was addressing an election rally in Bhilwara on the tenth anniversary of the terror strike when 10 Pakistani terrorists sneaked into Mumbai, killing scores of people in over 60 hours.

Taking a dig at the Congress, he said it was involved in the game of winning election in Rajasthan and other states when the terror attack shocked the world ten years back.

"The soldiers have their lives in hand and not camera, said Modi adding that when the 26/11 terror attacks took place, New Delhi was being governed by 'madam' (apparently referring to UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi) through a remote control. I remember the slightest criticism over the attacks used to rile up the then ruling party", she said.

On the terror attack, the Prime Minister said: "India will never forget 26/11 (November 26, 2008) attack or its perpetrators. We are looking for an opportunity... the law will take its own course, I assure the people of the country."
