NSA Doval to hold inter-faith harmony meet with Sufi clerics today

<p>
National Security Advisor Ajit Doval will hold a meeting with religious heads of various faiths on Saturday as part of the Narendra Modi government's outreach to promote inter-faith harmony.</p>
<p>
Sufi clerics will also attend the conference in which a resolution for peace, unity and harmony among communities will be passed.</p>
<p>
Hazrath Syed Naseeruddin Chishty, the chairperson of the All India Sufi Sajjada Nasheen Council is an important invitee at the conference.</p>
<p>
The inter-faith conference forms part of the BJP-led government's efforts to reach out to various faiths in order to reduce religious tensions that have escalated in the wake of suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma's controversial remarks. There have been extreme reactions from a section of Barelvi Muslims her remarks.<br />
<br />
The extreme reactions had led to the beheading of tailor Kanhaiya Lal by two Muslim youths in Udaipur, who even filmed the act and threatened Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The National Investigation Agency is investigating the killing. <br />
<br />
A similar hate killing took place in Maharashtra's Amravati where a pharmacist named Umesh Kolhe was hacked to death.</p>
<p>
Doval had held a similar inter-faith meet with religious leaders in 2019 to calm down frayed tempers and assure them a fair deal in 2019 after the Ayodhya verdict.</p>
