Shivraj Patil says government will take all measures against divisive forces
Kochi:
Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil today stressed that the Government will
use all its authority to ensure that divisive forces within the country do not
gain an upper hand. While addressing the golden jubilee celebration of the priestly
ordination of Catholicos Baselios Thomas I in Kochi this evening, Patil said any
attempt to disrupt peace and harmony would not be tolerated. Patil further said
that it is not religion which creates problems, but rather the ignorance about
religion. Kerala Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan, who was also present at the
function, urged religious heads and priests to adopt more proactive steps to encourage
religious tolerance. During the occasion, Ignatius Zakha I, patriarch of the Jacobite
Syrian Church, said that religious leaders, social workers and political leaders
should play a positive role by promoting and ensuring better understanding, unity
and cooperation among people. -
