India will "never succumb to the pressure of terrorism", Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said here on Wednesday after a bomb blast at the Delhi High Court left 10 people dead.
All political parties and people in India should remain united to crush the ‘scourge of terrorism’, the prime minister said in Dhaka where he arrived on Tuesday on a two-day visit.
He said: "My heart goes out to the bereaved families and to those who are injured I convey my best wishes.
"This is a cowardly act of terrorist nature. We will deal with it. We will never succumb to the pressure of terrorism.
"This is a long war in which all political parties, all the people of India have to stand united so that the scourge of terrorism is crushed."
He said he was not cutting short his trip to Bangladesh. "I am going back this evening anyway."
