It also offered logistic support to India.

The terror attacks also figured in a big way at the South Asian Women’s Day function here on Sunday where the participants reiterated their commitment to stand together during this critical hour of unimaginable destruction.

Representatives from over 40 women’s groups and civil society organisations participated in the function.
