Terrorism is a “mad violator of human rights”, the National Human Rights Commission of India said, in reference to the Mumbai terror attacks last month which killed 173 people and injured over 300 others.
"The National Human Rights Commission expresses its deep sense of pain and anguish at the tragic events which have taken place in Mumbai," it said in a statement.
“Terrorism is a mad violator of human rights. A terrorist has no religion. He does not believe in the tenets of religion because no religion preaches such insane violence. Therefore, terrorism of whatever hue must be unequivocally condemned by all.
"The Commission appeals to all communities and sections of society to join in the fight against terrorism without any reservation."
In one of India’s worst terrorist attacks, militants attacked a number of high profile landmarks, including the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower Hotel, the Oberoi Trident Hotel, Metro Theatre and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus railway station.
