Afghan mother Hijara Taufiq asks Scott Morrison to help with Afghanistan refugee crisis

A desperate mother used Scott Morrison’s appearance at an Eid event to beg the Prime Minister to help her family flee Afghanistan.

Hundreds of Muslim worshippers gathered in Parramatta, west Sydney, on Monday morning for Eid prayers to mark the end of Ramadan.

Mr Morrison attended the event alongside community members from the nearby Parramatta Mosque and delivered a speech to the hundreds of worshippers in attendance.

After the prayers, tearful Afghan mother Hijara Taufiq approached the prime minister.

While surrounded by a mob of people Ms Taufiq begged Mr Morrison in broken English to help her brother’s family flee the Taliban in Afghanistan.
