Russian Ambassador to India, Denis Alipov, said on Saturday that his country is committed to fighting terrorism together with India and other nations, as he highlighted the strong statement of support from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The statements were made in the wake of a terrible terror assault near Moscow on March 22 that left over 140 people dead and several others injured. Terrorists stormed the Crocus City Hall, setting off bombs and opening fire. It was alleged that they were disguised in camouflage uniforms.
“Russia is committed to decisively fight the menace of terrorism together with India and other countries bilaterally and multilaterally,” Ambassador Alipov said in a post on X.
“Strong statements of support to Russia and rejection of terrorism in all manifestations were made by Hon. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, leaders of political parties, ministers, senior officials and public activists,” he added.
He also “highly appreciated” the sentiments towards the victims, their kin, and the Russian government shown by the people of India and other countries.
Ambassador Alipov added that the Embassy keeps receiving condolence messages expressing sympathy over the huge loss of lives and condemnation of the “monstrous terrorist attack” on March 22 near Moscow.
Expressing his solidarity with the people of Russia, PM Modi had strongly condemned the heinous terrorist attack, saying, “Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims. India stands in solidarity with the government and the people of the Russian Federation in this hour of grief.”
Radical Islamists were responsible for the horrific terrorist attack, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin, but “many questions still remain.”
President Putin stated that while the identity of the terrorist attack’s perpetrator is already known, “we are interested in who ordered the crime,” according to the Xinhua news agency. It begs the question, “Who benefits from this?”
He has been saying, time and time again, that Ukraine might have had a part, even though Kyiv fiercely denies it.
Putin has also emphasized the need to find out why the terrorists attempted to enter Ukraine following the attack and who was waiting for them there.
