Full Statement –
As Muslim Council of Sri Lanka (MCSL) we wish to express our solidarity with the Government and people of New Zealand in the aftermath of the horrific terrorist attack by a person of Sri Lankan origin in Auckland, New Zealand.
We condemn this barbaric act of terrorism and re-iterate that violent extremism is not tolerated under any circumstances whatsoever. We thank the law enforcement authorities and concerned citizens who played an important role in taking decisive action in preventing any further carnage by the terrorist.
