Here is an attempt to compare how Indian Prime Minister, and Gujarat Chief Minister responded to Today’s Nairobi mall attack in which some Indians/persons of Indian origin are also injured and killed:

Following are the tweets by Shri Narendra Modi that give idea about his response to Nairbi terror attack:

Appreciation, recognition, pride, encouragement, positivity, Gujaratis run hospital – Modi prefers to use the word Indian

Touching to know of a hospital in Nairobi built by the Indian Community that is helping during this crisis.

Concern, care, ground connect, eagerness to help, assist

Spoke to India's High Commissioner to Kenya & spoke to people of the Indian community there over the unfortunate attack in Nairobi.

— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) September 22, 2013

Looks like a token message, but it shows the issue is under his sight

Condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in the Nairobi attack & prayers with the injured.

And following are the tweets of the Prime Minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh:
