The chief ministers of Meghalaya and Nagaland on Sunday vehemently condemned attack on churches and killing of innocent lives in Sri Lanka. According to media reports, at least 207 people were killed and hundreds of other people were injured in eight blasts that rocked churches and hotels in and just outside Sri Lanka’s capital Colombo on Easter Sunday. This is the worst chaos Sri Lanka has seen since a bloody civil war ended a decade ago.

Sri Lankan defence minister Ruwan Wijewardene described the blasts as a terrorist attack by religious extremists and told reporters on Sunday evening that seven suspects had been arrested. However, no one immediately claimed responsibility for the blasts.
While condemning the attack, the Meghalaya chief minister and national president of National People’s Party (NPP), Conrad K. Sangma on his Twitter handle stated: “Condemn the attack on Churches and innocent lives which took place in Sri Lanka.”
