New Delhi: Lok Sabha MPs condemned the grenade attack at a temple in Imphal that killed four people and injured 34 during Janmashtami celebrations Wednesday.
Raising the issue during zero hour, Congress party's Thokchom Meinya urged the house to join him in deploring the militant attack on devotees at the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) temple in the Manipur capital.
Chandrakanth Khaire of the Shiv Sena said attacks on the Hindus were on the rise and the government should take steps to protect the community and its institutions.
Tapir Gao (Bharatiya Janata Party) and Arun K Sarma (Asom Gana Parishad) asked the Government to nab the culprits at the earliest.
Gao pointed that the militants in Manipur had been forcing Indians to give up Indian traditional dresses and watching Hindi films.
Speaker Somnath Chatterjee said the entire house joined the MPs in condemning the attack.
