Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama has condemned the terrorist attack that happened in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday and says we Fijians will do our part in fighting these heinous acts by condemning any and all forms of religious intolerance in the strongest of terms.
Bainimarama says that around the world, there is a violent assault on religious freedom afoot, with no group or faith immune.
He says that we must actively work to rise above hatred, and fill the world with love.
Bainimarama adds that on an Easter Sunday that should have been filled with nothing but joy, family, and worship, terrorists deliberately targeted churches in Sri Lanka with their bombs and their hatred, once again aiming to instill fear in the hearts of those looking for peace.
He says that these acts have no place in this world, especially on the holiest of days on the Christian calendar.
Bainimarama also stressed that Fiji’s deep ties to Sri Lanka have made these horrific acts all the more devastating.
He calls on all Fijians to pray for the victims, for their loved ones, and for all Sri Lankans and for the recovery of those injured.
