SSM college Students protest against NZ terror attack

Srinagar, (PTK): The Students of SSM College of Engineering Pattan held a protest march against terrorist attack at New Zealand mosques.

The protesting students called out against the ‘war on terror’ of America, held posters in solidarity with the victims of the terror attack.

Students also denounced the comments of an Australian senator Fraser Anning from Queensland, who said that the massacre in New Zealand mosques in which 49 people lost their lives, happened because of ‘increasing Muslim presence in both Australia and New Zealand’.

A far-Right Australian MP has been condemned for his “disgusting” claim that New Zealand’s Muslim migrants were the cause of the terrorist attacks against mosques in Christchurch.

Fraser Anning, who is known for his incendiary rhetoric, said the attacks should not be blamed on nationalism but on New Zealand’s migration policy.

“I am utterly opposed to any form of violence within our community, and I totally condemn the actions of the gunman,” Mr Anning said.

“However, while this kind of violent vigilantism can never be justified, what it highlights is the growing fear within our community, both in Australia and New Zealand, of the increasing Muslim presence.

“As always, left-wing politicians and the media will rush to claim that the causes of today’s shootings lie with gun laws or those who hold nationalist views but this is all clichéd nonsense.
