Sri Lankan leaders have expressed their condolences to the victims of the blast near New Delhi’s iconic Red Fort in India yesterday.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Vijitha Herath said Sri Lanka stands in solidarity with the people of India.
“Saddened by news of the explosion in Delhi this evening. Sri Lanka stands in solidarity with the people of India. Our thoughts are with all those affected,” he said, in a post on ‘X’ on Monday.
Meanwhile, Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa said all should unite to eradicate the scourge of terrorism.
“Shocked to hear about the terror attack in New Delhi. All should unite to eradicate the scourge of terrorism. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who were impacted by this dastardly attack,” he said, in a post on ‘X’ on Monday.
The blast, in which 09 people were killed, is now being probed as a terror attack, and occurred hours after the Jammu and Kashmir and Haryana Police teams recovered thousands of kilos of suspected explosives and a cache of arms and ammunition from two houses in Faridabad.
Indian authorities say a link has emerged between the blast and the “white collar” terror module that was busted by the police teams of Jammu and Kashmir and Haryana.
The car in which the explosion took place was owned by a doctor from south Kashmir’s Pulwama, who was a part of the module. (Newswire)
