India’s support to Israel over the recent terror attack is unconditional, top government sources told CNN-News18 on Thursday. “The Indian stand is very clear that we condemn terror attacks in any form,” said an official.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement said everything very clearly about the terror attack, the sources said.
The PM on October 7 said India was “deeply shocked by the news of terrorist attacks in Israel…our thoughts and prayers are with the innocent victims and their families. We stand in solidarity with Israel at this difficult hour.”
Prime Minister Modi’s second statement on October 10 after a telephonic talk with Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu added the point that India denounced terrorism “in all forms and manifestations” to clearly accept no justification for the October 7 attack.
“We are not talking about any bilateral issue right now,” an official told CNN-News18.
No one should see PM Modi’s statement as anti-Muslim because various Indian Muslim bodies have also condemned Hamas’s terror attack on innocent people in Israel, said the sources.
“Even seniors in the Muslim community approached and gave support to the Indian government that they are ready to educate Indian Muslims and tell them the difference between the Israel-Palestine dispute and this terror attack,” an official said.
