Mumbai, Jul 13: The Governor of Maharashtra K. Sankaranarayanan has strongly condemned the near-simultaneous explosions brought about by terrorists at three places in Mumbai on Wednesday (13 July) causing loss of life and injuries to innocent citizens. The Governor who was in Delhi, has rushed back to Mumbai on hearing the news.

In a statement issued here, Mr Sankaranarayanan has said:

“The news of terrorists striking in the commercial capital of India in the rush hour of the evening today is shocking and shows the desperate levels the terrorists have stooped. The people of Mumbai have borne the maximum brunt of terrorism and yet they have shown remarkable resilience in the face of constant provocation. No religion on earth justifies violence against innocent people, and I condemn the blasts in the strongest possible words.

We cannot accept such mindless violence and have to go all out in our war against terrorism. Justice can be done only when terrorists and their sponsors are brought to book in the shortest possible time.

I convey my sympathies to the families of the victims of the blasts and wish speedy recovery to the injured.”
