Delhi Red Fort blast is ‘abominable terror attack’ and ‘terrorism has no ground’ in civil society, said the Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid, Syed Ahmed Bukhari, on Thursday, while hoping that the central government would leave no stone unturned in bringing the perpetrators to justice.
A high-intensity blast near Delhi's Red Fort on Monday evening claimed 13 lives.
With a firm national resolve, "we shall be able to unitedly fight the menace of terrorism and succeed in defeating it," the Shahi Imam said in a statement issued by the Jama Masjid.
"The Muslim community that remains filled with the spirit of patriotism, stands on this critical moment with their compatriot Indians like a wall reinforced with lead," he said in the statement, adding, "Their sorrow is collectively our sorrow. We stand with them on an unshakable foundation of compassion."
