Now one community and religion has targeted globally that is Muslim and Islam which is portraying as aggressive, threatening, supportive of terrorism, and unresponsive to change, so this is our duty to provide right information to the people that every religion either Islam, Christianity or Hinduism spread the word of love and unity. And, evil act of one person or group must not be linked to the particular religion.”
