His tweet came after MEA said, “We strongly deplore the personal attacks in unacceptable language on President Emmanuel Macron in violation of the most basic standards of international discourse.”
In the statement, the External Affairs Ministry also condemned the brutal terrorist attack that took the life of a French teacher in a gruesome manner that has shocked the world and offered India’s condolences to his family and the people of France.
French school teacher was beheaded by a radical Islamist on a busy Paris road, days after he had shown caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed to his students in France earlier this month.
Macron had slammed the radicals after the gruesome incident, for which he is being attacked by radical Islamists and Pakistan.
