Expressing concern over the rising love for violence among people, he said that the only unifying factor in human life is faith and belief in god and urged people to live in unity and harmony.

Speaking on the occasion, Khamarul Ulema Kanthapuram A. P. Abubakker Musliyar, the president of the All India Sunni Jamiathul Ulema, said that people of one religion must refrain from insulting the faith of the other, which is the major cause of hatred among different religious communities.
