Grand Mufti backs govt's fight against terrorism, praises PM Modi's efforts in Kashmir

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.''
He said that terrorism poses a grave threat not only to national stability but also to global peace and human dignity.
"India’s proactive measures to curb the activities of extremist forces—particularly in regions prone to unrest, such as Kashmir—reflect the government’s deep commitment to protecting innocent lives and upholding the values of justice and humanity," he said.
He said that these actions were not only essential for national integrity but also served as a vital contribution to regional and international peace.
The Grand Mufti also expressed confidence that India’s strategic interventions and diplomatic leadership can play a transformative role in countering radical ideologies and promoting sustainable peace across South Asia.
Moreover, he urges the people to stand united in support of these national efforts "regardless of faith or background, act as custodians of the values that bind us as a diverse yet harmonious nation". UNI RBE ARN
