Prime Minister Narendra Modi Sunday strongly condemned the suicide bombing at the Wagah border in Pakistan that killed at least 48 people and injured over 100 others.

In tweets, the prime minister said: "Terror attack in Pakistan near Wagah Border is shocking. I strongly condemn such a dastardly act of terrorism."

"My condolences to the families of the deceased. Prayers with the injured," he wrote on the micro blogging site.

A teenaged suicide bomber blew himself up Sunday evening near the Wagah border in Pakistan's Lahore district, killing at least 48 people. Militant outfit Jundallah (soldiers of god) claimed responsibility for the attack.
