His heartwarming gesture for Tito is a rare instance of including animals in personal wills, at least in India.

India's External Affairs Minister&nbsp;S Jaishankar, on Sunday (Oct. 27), revisited the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks that shook India in 2008&nbsp;and said that the government at the helm at that time had failed to respond to them.

“We should not have a repeat of what happened in Mumbai. That there was a terror attack and there was no response. This India will not accept it. This is what has changed," said Jaishankar.

The minister further said that Mumbai has become a global symbol which represents the counter-terrorism&nbsp;resolve of India and recalled how the UN Security Council's panel meeting was held in the iconic Taj Hotel - where terrorists had taken hostages in the 2008 attacks - when India chaired the counter-terrorism committee.

"Mumbai is a symbol of counter-terrorism for India and the world. When we were a member of the UNSC, we were president of the counter-terrorism committee. We held the security council meeting for the first time in the hotel where a terrorist attack took place, in Mumbai," Jaishankar said.

<h2>India has 'zero tolerance' for terrorism: Jaishankar</h2>

The external affairs minister added that India has a “zero tolerance” policy towards terrorism and added that it cannot afford another such attack.

“When the world sees who’s standing strong against the challenge of terrorism, people say India. We are today’s leaders in fighting terrorism and have zero tolerance towards it. We should not have a repeat of what happened in Mumbai (26/11)," said Jaishankar.

Kenya's high court on Friday suspended a $736 million deal between a state utility and India's Adani Energy Solutions to build and operate power infrastructure including transmission lines.

The public-private partnership agreement between state-owned Kenya Electrical Transmission Company (KETRACO) and Adani Energy Solutions was signed earlier this month.

On Oct. 11 the energy ministry said it would help address persistent power blackouts and support economic growth.

The high court said the government could not move ahead with the 30-year agreement with Adani Energy Solutions until the court makes a determination on a case brought by Law Society of Kenya challenging the deal.

The law society has argued that the power deal is "a constitutional sham" and "tainted with secrecy".

The law society also said KETRACO and Adani Energy Solutions did not carry out meaningful public participation around the project, a requirement under Kenya's Public Private Partnerships Act of 2021 which allows private sector development of public projects.&nbsp;

The energy ministry said previously that it had run a competitive bidding process.

A spokesperson for Adani Group did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
