Canada India Foundation strongly condemns terror attacks in Mumbai

OTTAWA, Nov. 27 /CNW/ – Canada India Foundation issued the following statement by Chairman, Mr. Surjit Babra.

“Canada India Foundation strongly condemns the terrorists attacks in Mumbai, India. These deliberate acts of terrorism must not succeed in dividing India or hindering its ascent as a global economic superpower which values freedom, democracy and human rights.

This is a time for the Indo-Canadian community and all Canadians to come together as a symbol of unity with India, our democratic ally, a fellow member of the Commonwealth, and as a key partner in the global fight against terrorism.

We stand firmly with those individuals and families who have lost their loved ones, with those who have suffered injuries and with those who are still caught in the terrible hostage situation, including Canadians. Our thoughts and prayers are with them during this most difficult time.”
