Mangalore, April 6: Governor H.R. Bhardwaj has called upon people of the State to live in harmony by following their respective religions and respecting one another.

 

 

 

 

He was addressing a gathering at the Urs celebrations of Sayed Mohammed Shereful Madani Dargah at Ullal on Monday.

The Governor, who spoke in Urdu, said that he would uphold the Constitutional values and spirit in the State.

The Constitution had given the right to people of all religions to live cordially. None of the religions could claim that the country belonged to it.

Mr. Bhardwaj said that unity in diversity was the strength of the country. It should be maintained at all costs.

He urged the people not to take the law into their hands for any reason. Places of worship should not face any trouble. People should not hate any religion. They should try to understand the values of every religion, the Governor said.
Stressing the importance of education, he said Muslim and Christian institutions had contributed immensely to the growth of education by opening several institutions in the State. Education had the power to wipe out ignorance, he said.

Bishop of Mangalore Aloysius Paul D’Souza said that the Urs celebrations should become a forum for strengthening brotherhood among people and maintaining cordial relations between religions.

Kolya Ramananda Swamiji said that people of all faiths visited the Ullal dargah. The former Union Minister Oscar Fernandes, MLA U.T. Khader, K. Abhayachandra Jain and Gopal Bhandary spoke.
