Mangalore, Nov 4: “Hurting the religious sentiments of others by criticizing their religion is not the essence of any religion. Instead, all religions preach respect to other religions,” said Dakshina Kannada district in-charge Minister B Ramanath Rai.
He was speaking after inaugurating book exhibition and releasing Kannada translation of third volume of Tafheem-ul-Quran at a formal function organised by Shanthi Prakashana at Town Hall, Mangalore on Monday.
The programme also marked the launch of month long state-wide campaign Shanthigagi Sahitya' (literature for peace) to commemorate the silver jubilee of the Mangalore based publication.
“The episodes of the past guide us to plan the future. We must constantly try to correct ourselves for the development of the society,” Mr Rai said.
Minister for Health U T Khader said that many a times it is the speech which leads to several problems and clashes in the society.
“When we have right to express, we must know what to express and for what cause,” he said after releasing the book “Mathu Hegirabeku?” translated by Abu Nusaiba during the occasion.
Mr Khadar said the knowledge given by ancestors must be utilized for good cause. It is the asset of society and youth should know its importance in building a sound society. Even technology can use for bringing awareness in society. But now it is being misused for spoiling peace in society, he said.
On the same occasion, Mangalore South MLA JR Lobo inaugurated'Vision Expo'. Minister for Fisheries, Youth Affairs and Sports K Abhayachandra Jain released book'Bharathiya Samskruthiya Anthardharegalu” translated by P Noor Muhammad.
