Dimapur, February 9: Addressing Seerat-un-Nabi conference at Igdah Ground Dimapur on Sunday, Parliamentary Secretary for IT&C, Science & Technology, Technical Education and Taxes, Tovihoto Ayemi called for peaceful co-existence of all communities in Dimapur, which is inhabited by people from different parts of the country.
To co-exist as one, he stressed on restraint and patience and thrashing out any differences peacefully and democratically. “We do not have to go to other parts of India to experience ‘Unity in Diversity.’ Here itself, we can learn to live in unity in spite of our differences in religion, race, caste, colour etc,” he added.
In the midst of thousands of Muslims, he said brotherhood should be maintained at all cost in every aspect of day-to-day life to bring in peace and harmony. He said it was the collective responsibility of all civilized people to act in unison by plugging their differences for the larger cause of humanity.
Noting that the Muslim community plays an active role in the economic sector in the state especially Dimapur, Tovihoto urged them to maintain honesty and truthfulness in line with the examples shown by the holy Prophet Muhammed. He told the sea of Muslims to make the teachings of the Prophet an inherent part of their life and try to follow his steps.
On the occasion of Seerat-un-Nabi, Tovihoto also called upon the community to look upon the sacred practical life of Muhammad as an example to pave goals towards peace and prosperity.
During the programme, representatives from Naga Council, Dimapur District Citizens’ Forum, East Dimapur Business Association and others also spoke.
SP Dimapur, V.Z. Angami and DDCCI President, Hokivi Chishi were also present.
The Seerat-un-Nabi Conference was organised by Igdah Committee Dimapur.
