Jammu: National Conference President Farooq Abdullah on Tuesday called for imbibing the spirit of love, compassion, peace and harmony as professed by every religion and preached by great saints and seers all their life, saying need for this is more now than ever before, as the society is ridden with hate and intolerance.
“Maintaining unity and further strengthening the bonds of brotherhood is the greatest tribute to great saints, who strived for a just society, based on social justice and equality”, Farooq said while paying tributes to Guru Ravi Dassji on his 642nd birth anniversary at a function here.
The society, he said, has an onerous responsibility to work for the upliftment of marginalized segments and ensure that opportunities of growth and progress are provided to all. He called for eschewing the tendencies of hate, saying this has already created wedge in the society. “This drift is needed to be bridged by promoting the spirit of harmony,” he said, adding “Let’s pledge to ensure dignified life for all”.
