19-year-old Imam who was killed in Haryana was praying for Hindu-Muslim unity; Video viral
Can be seen saying “Hindu-Muslim baith ke khaye thaali mei, Aisa Hindustan bana de ya Allah”
Gurgaon, Haryana: The heart-rending incident that unfolded in Gurgaon, where a mosque was set ablaze resulting in the death of a young deputy imam, Maulana Hafiz Saad, has taken a new turn as a video of him praying for Hindu-Muslim unity has emerged on social media. The video has been widely shared across various social media platforms, drawing attention to Saad's message of harmony for the country.
In the viral video, 19-year-old Maulana Saad is seen reciting a heartfelt prayer, calling for solidarity and amity between Hindus and Muslims in India. His words resonate with a poignant appeal:
“Hindu-Muslim baith ke khaye thaali mei/ Aisa Hindustan bana de ya Allah.” (Where Hindus and Muslims break bread on the same plate, Make such an India, O Allah.)
The touching video showcases Saad's commitment to promoting communal harmony, despite the tragic events that later unfolded. The young deputy imam served at the Anjuman Jama Masjid in Gurgaon's Sector 57, a thriving corporate hub housing multinational companies.
The video has captured the hearts of many, with netizens expressing grief and admiration for Saad's message in the wake of his untimely demise.
The incident took place amidst communal tensions in the region, with clashes breaking out in the Nuh district of Haryana just a day before the mosque attack. The clashes resulted in the death of six individuals, including two home guards, and left several others injured.
Haryana DGP P.K. Agrawal confirmed that 116 people have been arrested so far in the case while 90 others are detained for questioning. He also added that an SIT has been formed to investigate the violence that gripped the Muslim-dominated Nuh and later spread in other parts of the state.

Maharashtra sets up state vaccination task force to strengthen immunisation programme
Mumbai (PTI): The Maharashtra government has set up a State Vaccination Task Force to strengthen the regular immunisation programme and review the progress of related campaigns, a health department official said on Monday.
The State Vaccination Task Force will comprise at least 29 members and will be headed by the administrative head of the health department, he informed.
The government has also constituted separate district-level and municipal vaccination task forces to improve implementation and address challenges at the grassroots level, he said.
Municipal task forces, chaired by respective civic commissioners, have been constituted in view of the vast urban population in Maharashtra and the role of civic bodies in implementing different health programmes.
The district-level task forces will function under the chairmanship of collectors.
"Complete immunisation of children at the appropriate age is an extremely simple, cost-effective and highly effective measure to reduce child mortality and the prevalence of diseases among kids. Immunisation is a powerful tool for reducing illness in children," maintained the official.
To ensure full vaccination of all children, the state government implements various campaigns from time to time as per the central government guidelines, he pointed out.
"Active participation and cooperation of other relevant government departments are essential (in making these campaigns successful)," according to the official.
The state-level body will review the regular immunisation programme, associated campaigns and vaccine-preventable diseases in detail. It will also conduct focused assessments of high-risk districts and municipal corporations, including vacancies at district, municipal and sub-district levels, availability of cold chain equipment, resource gaps and training requirements, he noted.
The state task force will review allocation and utilisation of funds for immunisation and ensure timely action by officers concerned based on reports from district and municipal task forces and state-level monitoring mechanisms, the official said.
It will also ensure active coordination and participation of other government departments in immunisation drives, while district and municipal task forces will carry out similar functions at their respective levels, the official added.
