New Delhi, Nov 17: India’s Junior Minister in the Home Affairs Ministry Kiren Rijiju attended a condolence meeting at the Embassy of France here on Monday to mourn the victims of terrorist attacks in Paris on November 13, 2015.
He said on the occasion that people in India are no strangers to the pain and suffering inflicted by such senseless acts of violence in the last four decades.
“None of this however, lessens our sense of outrage, grief and shock when they happen and wherever they happen – whether in India or anywhere else in the world,” he said.
The Minister said, “We must isolate those who support and sponsor terrorism and stand with those who share our values of humanism. Open democracies and pluralistic societies that value individual freedoms and liberties like ours are increasingly threatened by terror groups. We need to significantly step up our cooperation in intelligence and disrupt all forms of support to terror groups, who are a common threat to our cherished values and to humanity itself.”
