Indians #PrayforLahore after deadly Pakistan bomb attack

The park was more crowded than usual, as Lahore's Christians celebrated Easter Day at its funfair

Indians on Twitter expressed solidarity with Pakistan after a suicide attack in Lahore killed more than 70 people including children on Sunday.

Many criticised the "senseless violence", making #PrayForLahore one of the top trending topics on Monday.

Some also used #IndiawithPakistan and urged fellow citizens "to stand with Pakistan in this hour of grief".

A Pakistan Taliban group claimed the attack, saying it had targeted Christians celebrating Easter.

The blast hit the main gate of Lahore's Gulshan-e-Iqbal park on Sunday.

The popular park was more crowded than usual, as Lahore's minority Christians were celebrating Easter at a funfair in the premises.

Many Indians, including Bollywood actors Sonakshi Sinha and Sidharth Malhotra, said such attacks "were against humanity".

A similar outpouring of sympathy was seen in India in December 2014 after militants launched an attack on an army school in Peshawar, killing more than 130 children.
