New Delhi, 14 Nov 2015: To express solidarity with the victims of and to protest against the brutal terror attacks in Paris, human and civil rights activist took out a silent candle light vigil Saturday evening here in Delhi. At least 120 people were killed in the Friday night serial terror attacks in the city of Paris – the capital of France.
However, around 20 social activists including Shabnam Hashmi of ANHAD were detained by the Police as there was section 144 in place.
Meanwhile, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, India’s largest Muslim organization, has strongly condemned the Paris attacks.
Mourning the death of more than 120 people in the attacks, Jamaat president Maulana Syed Jalaluddin Umri said: “We condemn the attacks on innocent civilians and stand with the people of France in their hour of grief.’
“Such terrorist attacks have no place in a civilized society and the perpetrators of this ghastly crime must realize that there can be no justification and rationale for such kind of violence and that the world will always remain united in condemning and opposing them,” Umri, India’s eminent Islamic scholar and author of over two dozen books on Islam, said in a press statement on Saturday.
