An interfaith conference of Sufi clerics on Saturday passed a resolution calling for a ban on “organisations like PFI and any other such fronts indulging in anti-national activities and pursuing a divisive agenda” even as National Security Adviser Ajit Doval warned that there are some anti-social elements who create animosity in the name of religion and ideology which affects the entire nation and to counter this, religious leaders will have to work together.
A unanimous resolution passed at the conference also underscored that those targeting gods, goddesses and prophets in discussions or debates should be “condemned and dealt with as per law”.
Putting forth his assertion at the ‘Interfaith Conference for Communal Harmony’ organised by the All India Sufi Sajjadanashin Council (AISSC) in Delhi, Doval said, “Some elements are trying to create an atmosphere that’s vitiating the progress of India. They’re creating acrimony and conflict in the name of religion and ideology, it’s affecting the entire country while spilling over outside the country also.”
“Organisations in anti-national activities and creating discord among citizens must be banned and action initiated against them as per law of the land,” outlined the resolution passed unanimously at the conference in the presence of Doval.
