Even if we are so diversified in religion, caste, culture, region etc; we are together and it is very required for our harmonious society as well as for humanity by and large.”
They lighted candles in the memory of the victims. Many people, who were on their way to visit Dilli Haat, also joined them to offer their solidarity with victims of Hyderabad Blasts.
Another candle vigil was organized by Khudai Khdimatgar at Hazrat Nizamuddin, where those gathered in solidarity prayed for the victims of the Hyderabad blast victims.
Ravi Nitesh, Founder of Mission Bhartiyam, remarked, “It is an unfortunate and inhuman act by some cowards. Today, we gather here to show them that we are unaffected by their cowardly acts to spread hatred and the attempt to divide the society.”
Faisal Khan of Khudai Khdimatgar said that we have gathered here to condemn the blasts and express our sympathy to the victims. We pray for the well being of those injured and urge the police to probe the case impartially.
