New Delhi, May 16 (SocialNews.XYZ) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday condemned the attack on Slovakia's PM Robert Fico, calling it a "cowardly and dastardly act".
The Slovakian Prime Minister was critically injured in an assassination attempt on Wednesday.
Expressing shock over the attack, PM Modi posted on his X handle, "Deeply shocked at the news of the shooting at Slovakia’s Prime Minister, H.E. Mr. Robert Fico. I strongly condemn this cowardly and dastardly act and wish PM Fico a speedy recovery. India stands in solidarity with the people of the Slovak Republic."
