Legal gap helps 26/11 accused retain Canadian citizenship

Tahawwur Hussain Rana, a key figure in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, has been extradited to India from the US after being convicted of terrorism-related charges. However, the Canadian Government is struggling to revoke his citizenship due to changes in citizenship legislation under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, which removed terrorism as a cause for revocation. Immigration authorities are now attempting to prove that Rana obtained Canadian citizenship through deception, a process that can take a decade to process.
