French Ambassador Francois Richier has said that he was "saddened" by Uttar Pradesh minister Azam Khan's remark that the Paris terror attack could have been a "reaction" to the "killing of innocents" in Arab countries by "superpowers" including the US.
During a press statement, he has just said, "I am saddened".
UP minister Azam Khan who is also a senior Samjawadi Party leader, condemned the terrorist attacks in Paris but also dragged USA and Russia into the issue and created ripples.
He said, "Whatever the terrorists did in Paris was wrong. I strongly condemn the attack. But, attack on Arab countries and killing of innocents there by US and Russia is also not justified. First of all we should look who killed first, and then come to a decision. I would say this is a debatable stuff. You throw drones and kill innocents.
History will decide who is a terrorist and who is not. If this attack is a reaction then the superpowers must think about it. Some action has led to this reaction and why none of them are speaking about that ? This is my question."
