Statement on killings in Christchurch

Sikh Council of New Zealand strongly condemns the killing of innocent people in two mosques of Christchurch by unhinged individuals.

We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with all those who believe in and work for a more harmonious world where people live like a family regardless of any social, religious, racial or other differences.

As Sikhs we live by and work for the principle of sarbat da bhala - well-being of all. We are committed to provide all moral and material support that we can to the suffering families.

To break the cycle of vengeful acts, let's all show brotherly/sisterly love and affection to those we come in contact with in our day-to-day living.

May Waheguru grant eternal peace to those who lost their lives today and strength to the families who have directly or indirectly borne the brunt of today's trage
