Statement on the Terrorist Attack on Manchester Synagogue on 2nd October
In light of the terrorist attack on a synagogue in Manchester, spokesperson Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India issued the following statement -
“We condemn the terror attack on the Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester, during Yom Kippur services today. It is particularly saddening that this heinous act was committed on the International Day of Non-violence.
This attack is yet another grim reminder of the challenge we face from the evil forces of terrorism, which the global community must combat and defeat through united and concerted action.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and the city of Manchester. We stand in solidarity with the people of the United Kingdom in this moment of grief.”
Consulate General of India, Manchester reinforces the firm condemnation of this terrorist attack. The day of this attack was the International Day of Non-Violence – declared in honour of Mahatma Gandhi’s birth anniversary. The brutal attack on the Synagogue in the beautiful and peaceful city of Manchester is a grave reminder of the relevance of Mahatma Gandhi’s teachings. Hatred cannot be countered by hatred. We have to recommit ourselves to practice harmony and compassion. Our prayers are with the families of those suffered.
