People from different faiths came together to show solidarity & to pray for the well being of the people of the South Asian country in the grip of a deadly second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gurnam Singh, Founder of AISECS said, “Prayers are magical, they have healing powers. I believe in bringing people together and stand by each other during tough times. However, that is why we kept the prayer meet open for the whole Indian- Australian community”
