Duma condemns Mumbai attacks
Vladimir Radyuhin
MOSCOW: The Russian Parliament voiced indignation at the Mumbai terror attack and called for early approval of an India-drafted anti-terrorist convention.
“There can be no justification for the atrocities committed by terrorist outfits, no matter what ethnic and religious disguise they don,” the Duma, Lower House, said in a statement unanimously adopted on Wednesday. It was made a day before President Dmitry Medvedev begins his first visit to India. Terrorism is expected to be high on the agenda of his talks in New Delhi.
The Duma statement expressed concern over the deadlocked discussion at the United Nations on the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism tabled by India and called for its adoption at the earliest to provide “the main legal basis for fighting terrorism.”
Russian parliamentarians criticised the United States, without naming it, for diverting resources from fighting terror to an arms race. “It is impermissible to waste resources and efforts by creating and deploying weapon systems against mythical and hypothetical threats at a time when thousands of innocent people are dying from a real evil.”
