New Delhi (NVI): India today strongly condemned the terror attack on a Gurudwara in Kabul, saying such cowardly attacks on the places of religious worship of the minority community,  especially at this time of COVID 19 pandemic, is “reflective of the diabolical mindset of the perpetrators and their backers”.

The statement came after a group of terrorists stormed a Gurudwara in Kabul early this morning, killing several people.

The MEA said India stands ready to extend all possible assistance to the affected families of the Hindu and Sikh community of Afghanistan.

“We commend the brave  Afghan security forces for their valorous response to the attack and their exemplary courage and dedication to protect the Afghan people and secure the country,” the MEA added.

“India stands in solidarity with the people,  the Government and the security forces of Afghanistan in their efforts for bringing peace and security to the country,” it said.
