Christchurch Tragedy

Dear Madam Jacinda Ardern - Right Honourable Prime Minister of Newzealand.

You have won the hearts and souls of we Pakistanis by saying that “Your heart and soul is with the bereaved families” and you have made us feel proud of you for what all you have done to venerate the martyrdom of the Muslims of Christchurch and how have the New Zealanders under your leadership risen as one to show their solidarity with the bereaved families and share their grief in their hour of great calamity. How do I wish we could do even an iota of it for some of our minorities (Ahmedis, Christians and Hindus) who at times suffer even more gruesome and horrific fate at the hands of some of our obscurant and illiterate extremists and that too ironically in the name of Islam.

Thank you, Madam, and God bless you for it.

Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
