The RSS on Wednesday asked the Union government to recognise the gravity of the recent terror attack on a group of Sikhs and Hindus in Afghanistan, which had killed 19 people, and take appropriate steps.

In a statement, RSS general secretary Suresh 'Bhaiyyaji' Joshi expressed hope that the Afghan government identify and punish the guilty in the most stringent manner and urged democratic powers of the world to come together to take strong and decisive action to root out fundamentalist terror.
