India strongly condemned the terror attack in the city of Peshawar, Pakistan, on Tuesday, in which 93 people were killed and more than 200 were hurt.
Arindam Bagchi, a spokesperson for India’s Ministry of External Affairs, said that India sent its deepest condolences to the families of the people who died in the attack on Monday.
“India sends its deepest condolences to the families of the people who died in yesterday’s terrorist attack in Peshawar. We strongly condemn this attack, in which so many people have died,” Bagchi wrote on Twitter.
During afternoon prayers in the city, a suicide bomber blew himself up in a mosque that was full of worshippers.
The illegal Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has claimed that they were behind Monday’s attack inside the mosque in the high-security Police Lines area.
Security officials say that the suicide bomber was in the front row when he blew himself up during the afternoon prayers (Zuhr). Local police said that the mosque’s Imam, Sahibzada Noor Ul Amin, also died in the blast.
They said that 221 people have been hurt and 93 people have died in the attack.
