All religions preach humanity and togetherness: Maulana Saqafi
Hubballi: All religions preach humanity and togetherness, a few people, who are unaware about the religious values, try to disturb harmony in the society said Maulana Abu Sufiyan Saqafi of Mangaluru.
He was addressing an Iftar get together organised by Madeena Masjid Committee for the members of Hindu Community at Shabri Nagar in Keshwapur here on Saturday evening.
"Every religion has good people. But only a 5% members of every religion try to sow the seeds of communalism and terrorism. If we take such people, we can build a healthy nation," he added.
The maulana further said, "When Hindus and Muslims of this country learn to live together peacefully and take Christians also with them, only then our nation would get the true and complete independence."
President of Madina Masjid Committee Ashraf Ali presided over the programme. BJP MLA Jagadish Shettar, Congress leader Shakir Sanadi, and others were present.
