NEW DELHI: A group of prominent leaders from different religions has endorsed the appeals by leaders of different religious groups, political parties and social groups to respect the Allahabad High Court verdict on Ayodhya issue.
“We welcome and fully endorse the appeals by leaders of different religions, political parties and social groups to respect the Judgment” they said in joint statement. The statement said that if there were any reservations about the Judgment, there could always be recourse to the Supreme Court but no one should spread disaffection in the society.
“We must recognize that the world is looking at our nation as an emerging super power and any internal conflict and discord will not only affect our economic progress but also severely dent our image internationally.
They said that no religion permitted violence or terrorism. “It should be understood that some devious elements misuse religions to instigate riots and engage in terrorist activities to divide communities for political reasons” they said while appealing the people not to fall prey to such machinations. “This will not only be against the very basic tenets of humanity but also work against national interest by disturbing peace and damaging the economy and progress of our country” they statement said.
The prominent signatories to the statement are Swami Agnivesh of Arya Samaj, Swami Awadesh Anand Giri of Dashavatar Akhada Haridwar, Swami Chidananda of Hrishikesh, Fr. Dominic Emmanuel from Delhi, Maulana Mahmood Madani of Jamait Ulema E Hind, Mujtaba Farooq of Jamat-E- Islami and Jain Vivek Muni from Delhi.
