SR I-LANKA ATTACKS- A SAD DAY FOR THE WORLD
290 innocent people have
been killed in Sri- Lanka in the horrific attacks, with around 500 left
wounded. It is unthinkable that evens the most sacred of places—houses of
worship—are no longer safe and that such places would be targeted. Several
politicians and actors are condemning the attack that took place in churches
and five-star hotels. Most of them are taking to social media to share their
opinion on one of the most shocking attacks in the history of Sri Lanka.At
least 24 people have been arrested in connection with the coordinated attacks
and the police investigation is ongoing. We stand in solidarity with the people
of Sri Lanka and condemn in the strongest possible terms the terrorist attacks apparently
targeted at Christians on Sri Lanka's soil.. The brutal attacks in Christchurch
and now Sri Lanka are proof that terrorism knows no religion, caste, ethnicity,
or borders.The international community, especially countries in the region,
must stand united and work together, putting aside all their differences. The
terrorists also attacks on the universal idea of inter-faith coexistence and
harmony. Kerala Kavya Kala Sahithy, the largest cc of U.R.I
in Kerala have condemned a series of blasts in Sri Lanka that killed at least
290 innocent people on Easter Sunday, including dozens of foreigners with
British, Dutch , American and Indian citizens believed to be among them. The
Kavya kala sahithy leaders had said in a statement: "We pray for the souls
of the victims and ask for speedy recovery of the injured
Pope Francis expressed
his sadness over the attacks during his traditional Easter address at the
Vatican."I want to express my affectionate closeness with the Christian
community, attacked while it was at prayer, and to all the victims of such
cruel violence," he said. The “U.R.I Kerala Leader’s expressed their "Heartfelt
condolences to the people of Sri Lanka on the horrible terrorist attacks on
churches and hotels.
"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
expresses in the name of Israel's citizens deep shock over the murderous
attacks against innocent civilians in Sri Lanka.Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas
described the attacks as "criminal and gruesome."Terrorism is a
global menace with no religion: it must be condemned & confronted
globally." Violence can never be the final solution to human
disagreements. May Peace prevail on Sri Lanka and the world.
