Nov 29, 2008 News

The Global Organization of People of Indian Origin (GOPIO) has indicated its strong and unequivocal condemnation of the series of bombings in Mumbai that killed more than 100 innocent people and left many more injured. GOPIO in a statement described the brutal and despicable acts as unforgivable and unjustified criminal actions directed to create widespread fear among innocent citizens.
“These are indeed indiscriminate and heinous acts against humanity. GOPIO condemns this brutal and savage attack perpetrated against innocent citizens. We share the pain and anguish of our brethren and sisters in India, and extend our condolences to the families of the victims and offer prayers for the speedy recovery of those injured,” said Inder Singh, President of GOPIO International.
“It is obvious that these continuing series of senseless attacks are meant to cause terror among our citizens” said K.N. Gupta, President of GOPIO of India.  “Terror will not succeed as the will of decent people shall overcome such criminal acts”, continued Mr. Gupta.
GOPIO commended the Government of India and Maharashtra State for their diligent efforts in providing emergency services to the survivors, and stated that it will fully support all measures taken by the government to bring security, calm and confidence to the people and applauds all efforts to prevent similar attacks in the future.
“We all grieve that such callous, inhumane and uncivilized crimes has been perpetrated against innocent people in the land of our birth and forbears, a land where freedom has in itself been savagely wounded by the criminals”, said Dr Thomas Abraham, Chairman of GOPIO International
GOPIO further expressed its deep and abiding concern for the victims of the national tragedies, their families, friends and associates. “It is indeed a time of deep sorrow for India, a very nervous time for the people of Mumbai, foreigners affected by the heinous acts and citizens of India in general.”
“We are very confident that the people of India will survive these national disasters while they retain courage, sense of dignity, pride, their values and their freedom.
There is no doubt that a resilient nation as India will overcome these brutal and senseless attacks, GOPIO supports the Government of India in its efforts to prevent similar violence in the future,” said Ashook Ramsaran, Secretary General of GOPIO.
