Topic Description:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi strongly condemned on Thursday the recent terrorist attacks in France, including the heinous attack inside a church in Nice, where a woman was beheaded and two others killed in a church, within two weeks of a teacher being decapitated in Paris. The PM also asserted that India stands with France in the fight against terrorism. Meanwhile, political leaders of other democratic countries like Pakistan’s Imran Khan, Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Malaysia’s Mahathir Mohamad have taken a diametrically opposite position to India’s. New Delhi on Wednesday had strongly deplored the personal attacks against French President Emmanuel Macron following his tough stance on radicalism, calling it a violation of the most basic standards of international discourse.
