New Delhi: India on Thursday condemned the terror attack outside the Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester, calling it a grim reminder of the threat posed by terrorism worldwide.
The attack, carried out during Yom Kippur services, left two people dead after an assailant rammed a car into worshippers and then stabbed them.
“We condemn the terror attack on the Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester,” said External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal. “It is particularly saddening that this heinous act was committed on the International Day of Non-Violence.”
Extending solidarity with the United Kingdom, India expressed condolences to the victims’ families and the city of Manchester.
“This attack is yet another grim reminder of the challenge we face from the evil forces of terrorism, which the global community must combat and defeat through united and concerted action,” Jaiswal added.
