With the extradition of Tahawwur Rana to India reviving memories of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma recalled a narrow escape that has stayed with him for over 16 years.
Sarma, who was then a Congress leader, said that he had been scheduled to stay at the iconic Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in Mumbai on the night of November 26, 2008—one of the prime targets of the terrorist attack—but changed his plans at the last minute.
"That night could have ended very differently for me. I was to stay at the Taj, but destiny had other plans," Sarma said.
