New Delhi, May 9 (UNI) Sheikh Abubakr Ahmad, the Grand Mufti of India, on Friday expressed his support for the government's efforts to combat terrorism and said India’s proactive steps to suppress extremist activities, especially in Kashmir, demonstrate its dedication to upholding the principles of justice and humanity.
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Grand Mufti said, 'I wish to convey my unequivocal support for the strong and principled stance adopted by the Government of India and the courageous efforts of our Armed Forces in safeguarding the sovereignty, unity, and security of the nation.''
