KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has expressed deep sadness over the explosion near the Red Fort in Delhi on Monday (Nov 10) evening, which claimed several lives and left many others injured.

"My heartfelt condolences go to the victims’ families and to the people of India as they mourn this senseless tragedy.

Anwar also paid tribute to the first responders and the authorities working to determine the cause of the blast and bring those responsible to justice.
