India Says It Will Continue Supporting Afghanistan Despite Attacks

Amid a number of attacks on Indians in Afghanistan, the Indian government has pledged that neither diplomatic pressure nor violence can stop India from helping Afghanistan, according to a Pashtu-language daily.

Indian government expressed these words after seven Indians were killed in an attack on a guest house in Kabul a few weeks ago, according to a report in the Pashtu-language newspaper Wrazpanra Bakhtar.

Some Indian intelligence officials and engineers were believed to be residing at the guest house at the time of the attack.

Afghan security officials have said that Pakistan-based militant organization Lashkar-e-Taiba was responsible for the attack.
