Standing by her ‘brother’ Afghanistan, India on Saturday condemned the terrorist attack on the German consulate in Mazar-e-Sharif, saying the strike is a grim reminder of the serious threat that terrorism poses to the region.
“We extend our deepest condolences to the bereaved families and wish speedy recovery to those injured. India lauds the courage of the security forces that successfully thwarted the attack and saved many lives. India strongly opposes terrorism in all its forms and stands in solidarity with the Government and people of Afghanistan and Germany. The attack in Mazar-e-Sharif is a grim reminder of the serious and grave threat that terrorism poses to our region and to humanity,” Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement.
A suicide car bomb had struck the German consulate in Mazar-e-Sharif on November 10, killing at least one person and wounding 29 others, in an attack claimed by Taliban insurgents.
India called on the international community to take concerted action to fight this scourge by denying all support to all terrorists.
