Indian Vice President C.P.Radhakrishnan paid homage to the innocent lives lost in the 1998 Coimbatore serial bomb blasts.
Sharing his feelings via his official X handle, the Vice President called that tragic incident “a dark and painful chapter in our nation’s history”.
“On that fateful day, when L. K. Advani ji was visiting the city, a series of horrific explosions shook Coimbatore and left deep scars on countless families. The atmosphere of fear, grief, and uncertainty that prevailed then remains deeply etched in my memory. I had a narrow escape in one of those blasts,” he wrote.
“Those dreadful moments, when we struggled to save the injured and rushed the critically wounded to hospitals, remain the most painful periods of my life. As we remember the victims with profound sorrow, I stand in solidarity with the bereaved families whose loss can never be replaced. Let us reaffirm our collective resolve to stand united against terrorism and to uphold peace, harmony, and national integrity,” he expressed.
