“In Barack Obama’s memoir “A Promised Land,” he stated that the Congress government adopted lenient measures against terrorists involved in the 2008 Mumbai attacks to appease the Muslim vote bank”
What FACTLY found
Barack Obama never made this claim in his book. He only discussed his conversation with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who expressed concerns about the economy, Pakistan, and political repercussions, but there was no mention of Congress adopting lenient measures to appease the Muslim vote bank. Additionally, there are no credible news reports to support this claim.
