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."

Elephant calf brought from Bijnor kept under care at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.
The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.
The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.
On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.
Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.
It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.
He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.
According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
