New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern on Wednesday has announced to broadcast ‘Azaan’ on its national TV and radio on Friday, adding that the nation will observe a two-minute silence in memory of the Christchurch martyrs.
Speaking to media on her second visit to Christchurch, Ardern said that there is a desire to show support to the Muslim community as they return to mosques, particularly on Friday.
The New Zealand prime minister said that the government is planning a memorial service for the Christchurch martyrs, adding that it wants to involve the rest of New Zealand too.
On the other hand, hundreds of mourners gathered in a Christchurch cemetery on Wednesday on the occasion of the first funerals of those killed in the twin mosque attack.
