Remembering the innocent civilians who were butchered during the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai a decade ago on this day, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said on Monday that terror achieves no purpose and emphasised that friendly relations between India and Pakistan are the only way forward.

Unveiling a book by his former Cabinet colleague Manish Tewari "Fables of Fractured Times", Singh said that although he was invited to launch the book, his thoughts were on the Mumbai attacks that took place 10 years ago.
