Mumbai Statement - 26 November 2008
|
|
The Executive of the Hindu Council UK has been shocked and horrified by the news of terror attacks on our sisters and brothers in Mumbai. We condemn these atrocities utterly; there is no place on Mother Earth for such cowardly attacks, attacks which no religion, philosophy, ideology or political system can even begin to justify. We are praying for the swift and safe release of those taken hostage and send our sympathies and condolences to all who are injured and grieving.
