Terrorism has no religion, ethnicity or faith, says Yuvraj Singh

The pusillanimous shootings at two mosques in Christchurch have shaken the spirits of entire New Zealand. This came out of nowhere and ended up being a ‘black day’ in the history of the country. These terrorist attacks took the lives of 49 innocent people and even the Bangladesh cricket team had a close shave during the shootings. Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh lashed out at the attacks in his latest tweet.

Yuvi wrote that terrorism has no religion, ethnicity or faith. He added that attacking the innocent people while they were praying is a shameful act. Furthermore, he also mentioned that hate and violence should not be tolerated at all. He offered his thoughts and prayers to the families of all the victims.

“Truly terrorism has no religion, ethnicity or faith. Attacking innocent people during prayers is a shameful act. Hate & violence should not be tolerated at all. Thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims. #ChristchurchTerrorAttack #christchurch,” Yuvraj Singh wrote in his tweet.

Bangladesh’s tour of New Zealand cancelled

Bangladesh team was due to play the third Test against New Zealand at Christchurch that would have commenced on 16 March 2019. But, the boards of both the nations decided to call this tour off after the attacks. The cricketers went to one of the mosques to offer their Friday prayers.

However, they were lucky since they got there after the firing began. The team went back to the stadium and were in the dressing room of the Hagley Oval. Tamim Iqbal, who was there during all this happening termed the incident as ‘frightening’. Fortunately, none of the cricketers or the support staff was injured during the incident. The entire team was flown back home ending the tour mid-way. Cricketers and eminent personalities from all around the globe condemned these attacks.
