BHUBANESWAR: Muslims from different corners of the country and outside assembled in a congregation organised to build a movement against terrorism and pledged themselves to fighting divisive forces here on Sunday.
At the conference on anti-terrorism and global peace, organised by Jamaiat-Ulama-I-Hind, Muslim intellectuals and religious heads condemned the act of terrorism or violence in any form whether by an individual or an organisation.
“The whole country should strive to bring misled section of youth of the country to right path. We should stop them by all means,” they said.
“It is mandatory for us to help each other in maintaining peace and harmony in society,” said Hazrat Maulan Syed Mehemood Asad Madani, head of Jamaiat-Ulama-I-Hind.
He said, “for us India is safest country in the world. We are stakeholders in the country’s development. Our predecessors had made sacrifice to free India from colonialism. Now the foremost duty before us is to fight divisive forces to take the country on path of development.”
The conference of Jamaiat-Ulama-I-Hind appealed to media organizations to refrain from presenting terrorism synonymous to any religion and called them not to interpret events with bias.
Maulana Abdul Mouyeedd Quasmi read out fatwa issued by Darul-Uloom, Deoband, against terrorism. The fatwa said there was no place for terrorism in Islam.
Passing a resolution, Jamaiat-Ulama-I-Hind demanded that a law against communal violence be formulated as early as possible. Hazrat Maulana Quari Syed Md. Usman, president of Jamaiat-Ulama-I-Hind administered oath to delegates on fighting terrorism.
Addressing the massive rally in the evening, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik said his Government was committed to protecting life and property of every citizen. Any form of terrorism should be condemned in strongest possible terms, he said.
Swami Agnivesh, a social activist, said efforts should be made to keep communal forces at bay. They were the biggest threat to nations stability, he said. Another Hindu religious leader Baba Balia also spoke at the occasion.
