New Delhi, June 18: India on Saturday strongly condemned the “cowardly attack” on a Gurudwara in Kabul in which at least two persons are reportedly injured, and said it was closely monitoring the situation following the incident.
Several blasts were reported near the Gurdwara Karte Parwan on Saturday, in the latest targeted attack on a place of worship of a minority community in war-torn Afghanistan.
“The cowardly attack on Gurudwara Karte Parwan should be condemned in the strongest terms by all. We have been closely monitoring developments since the news of the attack was received. Our first and foremost concern is for the welfare of the community,” External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar tweeted.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said India is “deeply concerned” over the attack.
“We are deeply concerned at the reports emanating from Kabul about an attack on a sacred Gurudwara in that city,” MEA Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said.
“We are closely monitoring the situation and waiting for further details on the unfolding developments,” he said. (PTI)
