India condemns Saudi oil field attacks


New Delhi, Sep 17 (IANS): India on Monday condemned the September 14 attacks on the Saudi Arabian oil fields and reiterated its resolve to oppose terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.

In a statement, the Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said: "We condemn the attacks of September 14, 2019 targetting Abqaiq oil processing facility and Khurais oil field in Saudi Arabia. We reiterate our resolve to oppose terrorism in all its forms and manifestations."

Saudi state energy producer Saudi Aramco lost about 5.7 million barrels per day of output on Saturday after 10 unmanned aerial vehicles struck the world's biggest crude-processing facility in Abqaiq and the kingdom's second-biggest oil field in Khurais.

Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have claimed credit for the attack, but US President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have already accused Iran for the attack.

    The damaged Indian economy is now faced with higher oil prices. India has to pay a high price for Modi's decision to abide by the US's illegal ban on Iranian oil.

    "---reiterated its resolve to oppose terrorism in all its forms and manifestations." What about political terrorism is conducted in India from Kashmir to Kanyakumai- Imprisonment of opposition , detentions without charge , news blocked to journalists, curfew, abuse of rights and freedoms.

    You are right, all terrorists including political terrorists have no rights and you are far away to hear complaints from them. Only you see Modi's picture along with Netanyahu, brothers in arms.
