Congress President Sonia Gandhi today strongly condemned the gruesome terror attack on peaceful demonstrators in Kabul, Afghanistan that killed over 61 and injured hundreds of others.
Expressing grave concern and grief, she said, though several cities of the world have been attacked in the last one month by practitioners of "organized and mindless" terrorism, "it will only strengthen our resolve to stand united and decisively fight the forces of division and terror, irrespective of their faith or belief".
Gandhi also extended condolences to people of Afghanistan and the bereaved families and wished fast recovery for the hundreds injured grievously.
Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi also condemned the terror attack in Kabul and offered his condolences to the families of the victims.
"Strongly condemn the terror attack in Kabul. My heart goes out to the people of Afghanistan and the families of the victims of this horrific attack," he said.
At least 61 people were killed and another 207 wounded in the Afghan capital today, when a suicide bomber detonated his explosives-packed clothing among a large crowd of demonstrators, officials and witnesses have said.
