Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Sunday said “social harmony and unity” is to be strengthened further to defeat the forces that cause division and conflict in the Indian society.

“We can defeat the forces who are engaged in conspiracy to create divide and conflict in the society only with the help of this strength of harmony and unity in the society,” he said after offering a ‘Chadar’ (cloth sheet) at dargah of Sufi saint Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti here on behalf of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“This strength has always defeated the challenge of terrorism,” he added.

The Union Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs and Minority Affairs said that harmony and unity in the country guarantee India’s prosperity.

Mr. Naqvi also read out the message of the Prime Minister on the occasion in which Mr. Modi greeted the followers of the saint in India and abroad.

Mr. Modi, in his message, said Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti was an “amazing example” of our country’s great Sufi traditions.“Garib Nawaz considered service to the humanity as best form of ‘Ibaadat’ (worship). It is a source of inspiration for us even today,” Mr. Modi said in the message.- IANS
