No place in New Zealand for such attackers, says PM Jacinda Ardern
The HinduLeaders around the world expressed disgust and sorrow at the killing of at least 49 people in New Zealand mosques on Friday, and some also expressed anger at what they described as the demonisation that fuelled such attacks. Western leaders, from Donald Trump to Angela Merkel, expressed solidarity with the people of New Zealand and deplored what the White House called an “act of hate”. “I blame these increasing terror attacks on the current Islamophobia post-9/11 1.3 billion Muslims have collectively been blamed for any act of terror,” Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan wrote on social media. They have no place in New Zealand.” Britain’s Queen Elizabeth, who is New Zealand’s head of state, said she was “deeply saddened by the appalling events”. The Palestinian chief peace negotiator, Saeb Erekat, called the attack a “consequence of racist ideologies that continue trying to promote religious wars”.
