On Thursday, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat met All India Imam Organisation chief Imam Umer Ahmed Ilyasi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RSS’s outreach to other communities and faiths is part of its ongoing outreach efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the national Capital, RSS functionaries met at a mosque to connect with people from a cross-section of society, according to an RSS functionary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was reported in Tuesday’s Hindustan Times that the Sangh chief said that amity between different faiths and communities is essential for India to advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Five eminent Muslims met Bhagwat with the goal of developing a strategy for amity and communal harmony. Included in the group were Najeeb Jung, the former LG of Delhi, and SY Quraishi, the former election commissioner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was an agreement between the two sides to find areas of disagreement and meet with representatives from other faiths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The RSS leaders pointed out that while the five representatives objected to Muslims being referred to as Pakistani and terrorists, Hindus find it objectionable to be referred to as non-believers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a plan to resolve issues simmering for years and end conflict, according to one member present at the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to maintain communal harmony and internal security, this is being done, according to him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
