Responding to a query, official spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs, Syed Akbaruddin said, "In connection with recent events we would like to reiterate that India has always strongly condemned all acts that disparage religious beliefs and hurt religious sentiments."

"The Ministry of External Affairs is in touch with US officials who share our concerns on the matter. Google India has, in compliance with Indian law, blocked access to the offensive material," he said.

The amateur US-made film that was posted online sparked widespread anti-US protests across the Muslim world, including countries like Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Tunisia, Sudan and Afghanistan.

In the Libyan city of Benghazi, four Americans, including US Ambassador Christopher Stevens, were killed when a violent mob attacked the American consulate on September 11.

Four people were killed and 49 injured when the American embassy in the Tunisian capital was attacked on Friday by the angry protesters.
