‘Fight against terrorism is not against any religion, Muslims’
New Delhi: Jordan Raj Abdullah, during his visit to India on Thursday said the fight against terrorism and raidcalisation was not against any religion or against Muslims, but against extremism and violence.
"Today's global war against terror is not a fight between different religions or people. It is between moderates of all faiths and communities against extremism, hate and violence," the King said. "What is heard in the news and what is shown about religion is what separates people," he said.
Sharing his views on religion, Abdullah II said faith should hold humanity together.
He added that around the world, suspicions are inflamed by what different groups don't know about others. "Such ideologies of hate distort the word of God — to stir up conflicts and justify crimes and terror. "We need to take these things seriously... they should never be allowed to distract us from the truth that faith should draw humanity together."
The Jordanian King arrived on Tuesday on a three-day state visit. Earlier in February, he had hosted Modi in Amman.

Ranchi(PTI): The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has emerged as a surprise element in the Jharkhand assembly elections with its candidates leading in five of the six seats where the party is contesting, according to trends available on the Election Commission's website on Saturday.

In Koderma, RJD nominee Subhash Prasad Yadav, who was out on bail, was leading by a margin of 3,471 votes over BJP’s sitting legislator Neera Yadav.
Subhas Prasad Yadav, considered to be one of the close aides of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad, was recently granted bail by the Supreme Court in a money laundering case.
Party’s Naresh Prasad Singh was leading by 5,159 votes after the fourth round of counting over BJP’s Bishrampur MLA Ramchandra Chandravanshi.
RJD's Sanjay Kumar Singh Yadav was also leading from Hussainabad by 8,213 votes after the fourth round of counting over BJP MLA Kamlesh Kumar Singh.
