New Delhi, Nov 27 (IANS) Congress president Sonia Gandhi Thursday condemned the terrorist strike in Mumbai and called the attack as a challenge for the country.
'I am deeply shocked at the terrorist attacks in Mumbai. It's a moment of challenge for the country and we have to fight it together,' Sonia Gandhi said in a statement.
She expressed her sympathy with the family members of officers and common man who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks.
'All the officers who have laid down their lives are true patriots of this country. I express my sympathy with all of them,' Gandhi said.
