A VIGIL service was held in Grays to pray for the victims of Christchurch Mosque attack in New Zealand. The service was attended by large number of local residents including Thurrock Labour Party’s Chairman Mr Colin Ricks.

The local imam Hafiz Abul Rashid made special prayers for the victims and their families. A minute’s silence was also observed to pay tribute to the victims of this vicious attack.

Councillor Qaisar Abbas who organised this service said “We are here today to pray for the victims and their families. This attack is extremely condemnable and a reminder that the terrorism has no religion.”
