New Delhi, Sept. 4 (ANI): Congress leader Manish Tewari on Thursday said the government must take cognizance of the announcement made by terrorist group Al-Qaeda to set up a new branch in South Asia and asked New Delhi to put pressure on Islamabad to expedite the 26/11 trial. “It is extremely worrying if the Al-Qaeda chief has now put India in the cross hairs of the erratic Islamistic organization of the world,” Tewari told ANI here. “The government must take cognizance of this and more than that they must put pressure on Pakistan to expedite the 26/11 trial, which is going on in Pakistan because only when people who are linked to these instrumentalities are convicted of offences would a salutary message go out to them,” he added.
