New Delhi: Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Congress's newly appointed general secretary for eastern Uttar Pradesh, on Saturday condemned the ghastly attack at New Zealand's Christchurch mosques, and extended condolences to families bereaved in the shooting in which as many as 49 people were killed.

"The horrific terrorist act in New Zealand should be a warning to the whole world: hatred is NEVER benign. My heart goes out to the victims and their families, may love and support from the millions who are repelled by this crime sustain them and give them courage," Priyanka tweeted.
