In a letter addressed to the High Commissioner of New Zealand in Sri Lanka Micheal Appleton, the Supreme Council of Sufi Thareeqas in Sri Lanka (SCOT-SL) condemned the extremist attack which unfolded in Auckland today (03). “The recent extremist incident by the lone attacker in Auckland is strongly condemned by the Muslim community in Sri Lanka. “The ideologies have no place in our island nation and as such, are banned in Sri Lanka. We vehemently oppose this kind of behaviour and carnage,” the letter noted. The SCOT-SL concluded by stating that they continue to be on the side of New Zealand, while expressing sympathies and prayers to the nation in this hour of grief.
