The Hands Across Westminster Bridge vigil – also called #WeStandTogether - sought to show that various communities of London remain united and will **t be divided by those who seek to divide communities to advance their agenda. Over 300 members of British Pakistani community were seen carrying banners condemning terrorism and sending out message of peace, hope and friendship.
Pakistanis said they abhor terrorism in all shapes and forms and condemn people like Khalid Masood, who grew up as a Christian, are criminals and don’t represent any faith. They said that they loved living in London and were thankful to the police services for their role in keeping crimes under control and doing a difficult job in protecting them. They said that PC Keith Palmer was a hero who sacrificed his life and protected others in line of duty. Pakistanis said that they knew well what terrorism means because their motherland had rendered tremendous sacrifices in the fight against terrorism.
For about two hours, the bridge was closed to traffic to accommodate the mourners who gathered in thousands. Schoolgirls from Al-Sadiq and Al-Zahra Schools clasped yellow roses and held signs which read "Islam says ** to terror" and "please don't kill in**cent people" as they walked across the river.
Senior police commander Mak Chishty told The News that Londoners have come together to show that they stand united and will **t be divided at any cost. Naz Shah, MP said that it was unfortunate that a few criminal elements were trying to hijack the name of Islam. She said that it was important for all communities to stand united.
Acting commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Craig Mackey said, "Our thoughts, our prayers, go out to everyone who was affected by the events last week. I would urge you, if you get time, to go on to the bridge, talk to Londoners, talk and get a feel for this great city and how it's come together in responding to these events."
