26/11 anniversary: Omar says leave baby Moshe alone

Jammu: With the focus of TV channels on three-year-old Baby Moshe who had lost his parents in the 26/11 attack at Nariman House, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday said the toddler needs to be left alone rather than reminded about gruesome terror attack.

"Am I the only one who thinks that poor Moshe needs to be left alone rather than reminded, like clock work every year, about 26/11," Omar wrote on mirco-blogging networking site Twitter, on the third anniversary of the Mumbai attacks.

Responding to queries on the issue and tributes on TVs, he said, "That's good to hear, for a moment I was beginning to wonder seeing all the stuff on TV."

Moshe lost his parents -- Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and his five-month pregnant wife Rivika -- along with four others on November 26, 2008 at the Chabad House.

On the fateful day, Ajmal Amir Kasab and nine other heavily-armed gunmen, who arrived here by sea, attacked various places, including the Taj Mahal Hotel, Nariman House, Oberoi Hotel and Mumbai CST railway station, killing 166 people and injuring several others.
