In New Zealand’s shooting incident, one was an Indian origin Ahmed Jehangir among more than 45 people, who are reported to have been killed. According to reports Jehangir belongs to Hyderabad and his family members including his brother Iqbal Jehangir wants to go to New Zealand for Ahmed’s family. As he lives in Hyderabad, Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) Chief Asaduddin Owaisi took to Twitter requesting External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and State Government to make an arrangement from them.

A video has surfaced on social media showing Ahmed Jehangir was shot dead. Taking to Twitter, Owaisi wrote: “His brother is serious & his family has little support. I’m only requesting the immediate support of your good offices in expediting his visa process. He’ll make all arrangements to travel to NZ by himself.”

In one of the tweets, New Zealand Police wrote:  “Police are aware there is extremely distressing footage relating to the incident in Christchurch circulating online. We would strongly urge that the link not be shared. We are working to have any footage removed.”

My prayers are with the families of those who have lost someone in #Christchurch terror attack.

The attack is reflective of a global shift towards Islamophobia & requires all of us to introspect on how we can counter hateful propaganda.
