Pakistan on Saturday condemned the terrorist attack on a Sikh temple in Kabul that resulted in the loss of two lives, terming the acts of terrorism on religious places "utterly repugnant". In a statement issued today, the Foreign Office noted that the attack resulted in the loss of precious lives and injuries to many others while causing destruction of property. "Pakistan is seriously concerned at the recent spate of terrorist attacks on places of worship in Afghanistan," the communiqué released by the foreign office maintained. The foreign office reiterated Pakistan's condemnation of terrorism in all forms and manifestations. An attack at another temple in Kabul in 2020 that killed 25 was claimed by Islamic State.
