Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday condemned shootings in multiple locations in Vienna, saying India "stands with Austria during this tragic time". At least three people were killed, including a gunman, and 14 others injured in shootings in the Austrian capital of Vienna, just hours before a national lockdown was to come into force against the Covid-19 pandemic, authorities said on Tuesday.
According to the police, the shootings took place in six different locations at about 8 p.m. on Monday, near the Seitenstettengasse synagogue, when a suspect, armed with an automatic rifle, a pistol, and a machete, opened fire on people outside bars and restaurants which have now been closed until the end of this month as per the new lockdown rules, the BBC reported.
The terror attack at the Austrian capital resembles the pattern of the terror attack on Mumbai i.e. 26/11. Interestingly, Europe did not stand by India when the CAA and Delhi riots were going on.
Now, controversial BJP leader Kapil Mishra has slammed Europe's dual approach. Reminding Europe that they did not extend their support to India he wrote, "Europe ignored radical islamic terrorism in India. They kept teaching us fake secularism, funding campaigns for fake human rights of terrorists. Now the same terror is knocking at their door. Hope they will now take it seriously."
"Dear Vienna : India Truly stands with you, we will not preach you while you bleed. Vienna remained a hub of terrorist sympathizers. Hope this will end as terrorism is now knocking the doors of Europe," added Kapil.
