Islamabad : Condemning the bomb attacks in Bangalore and Ahmedabad, Pakistan Premier Yousuf Raza Gilani has described them as “dastardly acts of senseless violence” against innocent people.
The Pakistan Prime Minister “has strongly condemned the acts of terrorist violence in the Indian cities of Ahmedabad and Bangalore and expressed deep sympathies with the bereaved families and the victims of these dastardly acts of senseless violence against innocent persons,” a statement issued by the Foreign Ministry here said.
Gilani yesterday left here for Washington on a maiden three-day visit to the US during which the fight against terrorism is expected to top the agenda of his talks with American leadership, the Press Trust of India reported.
The Pakistani statement condemning the terrorist attacks in India came shortly after Ahmedabad was rocked by a series of 16 bomb blasts last night that left 38 people dead. A day earlier bombings in Bangalore had killed two people and injured 12.
