The recent terrorist attack in Christchurch tormented the international community.
Voices of condemnation from around the world have projected the narrative of peace as well as human sympathy. However, I am unable to find appropriate words to pay tribute to the national response of New Zealand — especially the responseof the Prime Minister of New Zealand.
Jacinda Ardern’s actions, conduct, emotions and steps within the short span of time since the attack have won the hearts of the Muslim community.
That is the reason, in spite of killing of Pakistani people in the attack, that families of victims, Pakistani media and people from all segments of life are appreciating Jacinda Ardern, irrespective of religion or national identity.
Even as a Pakistani, I feel proud of Jacinda Ardern.
Her steps and responses are more humanistic and ethical than political, because feeling pain of human beings is the universal aspect of every religion.
She, along with her public, have built a comprehensive narrative against extremism and terrorism. She and her nation have become symbols of peace and humanism.
World powers ought to learn from such responses to eradicate the evil of extremism, by projecting global interests rather than national.
