New Delhi, Oct 02: German President Johannes Rau today condemned the assassination attempt on Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and hoped the culprits would be apprehended soon. In a message, Rau said, "With great consternation have I learnt that an attempt has been made on your life and I hope you recover quickly from your injuries". "The deed is all the more incomprehensible to me as I know you personally and have learned how under your leadership Andhra Pradesh has become an example of political and religious tolerance," a German Embassy release here quoted Rau to say. The German President said he hoped "perpetrators are rapidly apprehended and placed before a court". Bureau Report
