India's ruling Congress party president Sonia Gandhi Thursday condemned the terrorist attack in Mumbai and called it a challenge for India.
"I am deeply shocked at the terrorist attacks in Mumbai. It's a moment of challenge for the country and we have to fight it together," Sonia Gandhi said in a statement, the Indo-Asian News Service reported.
Sonia Gandhi expressed her sympathy with the family members of the victims who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks.
She vowed to wipe out terrorism and asked the central and state governments to make proper security arrangements.
More than 101 people have been killed and 250 injured in a series of terrorist attacks in Mumbai at 10 places including hotels, hospitals and train stations since Wednesday evening.
A hostage crisis continued Thursday with tourists and other guests being held by terrorists in the two five-star hotels.
The Congress party has decided to end its campaign for Saturday's assembly election in Delhi Thursday afternoon with the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh'rally, which was canceled following the terror.
