Prime Minister. By your logic every Indian freedom fighter should be a terrorist and the British imperialists would be innocent victims.
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.
