Lok Sabha condemns Varanasi blast
The Lok Sabha on Wednesday strongly condemned the terrorist attack in Varanasi in which a two-year-old girl was killed and over 30 persons were injured.
As soon as the House met for the day, Speaker Meira Kumar said, “In a cowardly terrorist attack, reportedly one infant was killed and 39 others were injured when a bomb exploded at Sheetla Ghat in Varanasi.”
“The House strongly condemns the terrorist attack and expresses its profound sorrow,” the Speaker said.
The Lok Sabha also expressed profound sorrow over the large number of deaths due to the heavy rains in Tamil Nadu.
“Over 170 people are reported to have been killed and thousands others displaced due to heavy rains in the state. Heavy rains resulted in submerging thousands of acres of standing crops in the state,” Ms Kumar said.
