New Delhi: The BJP on Tuesday expressed its solidarity with Israel and its people in the wake of Monday`s attack on a vehicle belonging to its embassy here. BJP Rajya Sabha MP and spokesperson Tarun Vijay, who met Israeli Ambassador Alon Ushpiz, said, "India-Israel relations are too deep and extraordinarily unique and their close friendship has stood the test of time which can`t be altered with such cowardly attacks of terrorists who are a blot on humanity." The BJP expressed confidence that both countries would continue their joint fight against terrorism, Vijay said in a statement. He conveyed the deep sympathies of his party president Nitin Gadkari. The latter had visited Israel some months ago. The right-wing party always supports Israel and its cause and has espoused close relations with that country. Vijay said the Israeli ambassador expressed gratitude to the BJP and the people of India and stated that the "tsunami of support and sympathies that this incident has attracted from the common Indian citizen is a positive side of the terror attack".
The BJP MP maintained that the ambassador had informed him that the injured wife of an Israeli diplomat, has taken the attack very courageously and she is now out of danger. The ambassador was all praise for the brave driver of the diplomat`s car and said that he was the "real hero" of the incident who didn`t fear and brought the injured lady to the embassy.
