India today strongly deplored the terror attack at the shrine of Lal Shabhaz Qalandar in Pakistan in which at least 80 people were killed and over 200 injured.
"India has always condemned terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. We strongly deplore the terrorist attack at the shrine of Lal Shabhaz Qalandar yesterday that resulted in the loss of a large number of innocent lives," External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup said.
At least 80 people were killed and over 200 injured when an Islamic State suicide bomber blew himself up inside the crowded shrine of revered Sufi Lal Shahbaz Qalandar in Sehwan town, the fifth major terrorist strike in Pakistan within a week's time.
