Condemning the serial blasts in Sri Lanka, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday said violence in any form was unacceptable.
"Saddened and shocked at the disturbing news coming in from Sri Lanka. All forms of violence are unacceptable. Easter is a Festival of Peace. My thoughts and prayers with the grieving families," Banerjee tweeted.
More than 160 people were killed and 400 others injured in six near simultaneous and coordinated explosions that rocked three churches and three luxury hotels frequented by tourists in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday, in one of the deadliest blasts in the country's history.
