Efforts to restore peace in the Salem Colony after the false accusations of desecration of the Quran are the result of tireless efforts of stakeholders.
Respect for religions and acceptance are important components of building a peaceful society. The promotion of Interfaith harmony is the need of the time. All religions teach peace and brotherhood relations. We are united to promote peace through dialogue.
We have to step forward and perform our positive role to promote tolerance and acceptance in the community. The incidents that took place in the Saleem colony are the result of intolerance and ignorance.
