The AJP condemns Red Fort explosion, calling it a brutal act against humanity and the nation. Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP) President Lurinjyoti Gogoi issued a strong statement denouncing the attack near Delhi’s historic Red Fort and expressed unwavering solidarity with victims and their families.
Explosion Near Red Fort Shakes the Nation
A powerful explosion rocked the Red Fort area in Delhi on 10 November 2025, killing at least ten people and injuring several others. The blast occurred close to the Red Fort Metro Station during evening traffic, sending shockwaves across the capital.
Authorities quickly cordoned off the area as teams from the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and National Security Guard (NSG) reached the site. Forensic experts are examining debris to determine the nature of the explosives used.
AJP Condemns Red Fort Explosion, Calls for National Unity
In a statement to the press, Lurinjyoti Gogoi said the AJP condemns Red Fort explosion in the strongest terms. He described the attack as “barbaric and inhumane,” adding that terrorism seeks to destabilize India’s unity but will fail in the face of collective strength.
Gogoi urged all citizens to remain calm, united, and vigilant. “In this hour of pain, every Indian must stand shoulder to shoulder, showing that love and compassion will always triumph over hatred,” he said.
He also appealed to political leaders across party lines to come together and avoid using such tragic incidents for political gain.
Assam Leaders Join the Call for Solidarity
The AJP’s statement has resonated across Assam’s political spectrum. Several opposition parties, including members of the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee and All Assam Students’ Union (AASU), echoed similar sentiments, condemning the violence and demanding a swift investigation.
Analysts believe the response shows Assam’s increasing participation in national discourse. “The condemnation from regional leaders like Gogoi proves that terrorism is a national issue, not just a local concern,” said a Guwahati-based political expert.
Public gatherings in Assam towns such as Dibrugarh and Jorhat observed candlelight vigils in memory of the victims.
Investigation Underway: Security Tightened Nationwide
The Union Home Ministry has directed law enforcement agencies to maintain heightened alert levels in major cities. Investigators suspect a pre-planned attack possibly involving organized terror networks.
Officials confirmed that the NIA is examining CCTV footage and mobile data to track suspects. The NSG and Delhi Police Special Cell are collaborating to ensure no further threat remains.
Meanwhile, the AJP condemns Red Fort explosion and urged the Centre to ensure transparency during the investigation and to provide adequate support for victims’ families.
National Reactions and Global Condemnation
Political leaders from across India condemned the explosion, including Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Home Minister Amit Shah, both assuring that “the culprits will face the harshest punishment.”
Internationally, several embassies and foreign governments extended condolences, calling the act a “cowardly assault on peace and democracy.”
Social media platforms saw the hashtags #StandWithDelhi and #UnitedAgainstTerror trend for hours, with thousands posting messages of unity.
AJP’s Broader Message: Peace Over Politics
The AJP emphasized that beyond condemnation, the nation must focus on tackling extremism at its roots. Gogoi stated that terrorism thrives on fear and division, which can only be countered with education, awareness, and inclusive governance.
He added that Assam’s own history of insurgency and peace-building gives its people a deep understanding of the pain caused by such attacks. “Assam stands with Delhi,” he said. “Our experiences have taught us that unity and humanity are stronger than any weapon.”
Public Sentiment: Citizens Demand Accountability
Citizens in Delhi and other parts of India have expressed both grief and anger over the explosion. Many demand immediate arrests and stronger preventive measures to safeguard public areas.
In Assam, social groups are planning peace marches and interfaith prayers to honour victims. The AJP condemns Red Fort explosion while urging citizens to combat hate speech and misinformation online.
Staying Vigilant and Compassionate
In his closing message, Lurinjyoti Gogoi reminded the nation that “terrorism aims to divide us—but unity is India’s greatest defense.” He called on every Indian to stay alert, support verified relief drives, and stand with those affected.
The AJP’s voice from Assam serves as a reminder that national unity extends beyond borders and political affiliations. Acts of compassion, awareness, and solidarity are the most powerful answers to terror.
