Expressing shock over the incident, External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee said it once again proved that terrorism had not been eliminated in Pakistan and was rather continuing unabated.
Mukherjee conveyed his sympathies to the members of the bereaved families. Heavily-armed gunmen today stormed a police academy near Lahore, killing at least 22 policemen and injuring 90 others before taking an unspecified number of security personnel as hostages.
Mukherjee, who is contesting from the Jangipur Lok Sabha constituency for re-election, was talking to reporters at the end of a poll rally at Lalgola in Murshidabad district.
