Religious leaders call peace meeting for Hindu-Muslim unity in Bengaluru

With the recent events threatening to polarise and pit communities against each other, religious leaders on Monday have come together to hold a peace meeting between the Hindu and Muslim communities in Bengaluru.

Bharat Rakshana Vedike has organised the meeting, where the issues of hijab versus saffron shawl row will be discussed, including killings of Hindu activists and campaigns against the Muslim community which is harming the Hindu-Muslim relationship in Karnataka.

The peace meeting titled ‘Sneha Sammilana haagu Samarasya sabhe’ (Meeting for Harmony and get together) would discuss the ways to end the series of developments that are leading to communal disharmony and help establish harmony. It will be presided by Barkur Sansthan Mutt Seer Santhosh Bharthi Swamiji.

Bharat Rakshana Vedike President Bharath Shetty has stated that the relations between Hindu and Muslim communities have strained too far in the backdrop of communal developments in the state over the past few months.

“If the issues are not addressed and peace is not found, we do not know where this disharmony will lead the society,” he said.

“Hindus and Muslims, both are citizens of this country,” Shetty said adding both have to live in peace, otherwise it is detrimental to the future of the country.

The organizers of the peace meeting have given a call for like-minded leaders from both the communities to attend the assembly and to take part in the discussion to find out ways of bringing back harmony among everyone.

Shetty stated that any campaign has legal standing and if it is for a cause, then it is justified. But the recent campaigns are going in different directions and targetting innocent people.
