BENGALURU: Union Minister of State for Minority Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi today said IS and  al-Qaeda have failed in spreading their presence in India.

Mr Naqvi said the entire world has been working to destroy these evil forces. Such evil groups neither have relation with any religion nor do they have any ideology.

“These forces want to establish their evil empire by killing human values.”  The Minister was speaking at the inauguration of N A Global Law School campus and Convocation of 12th batch of American Academy of Implant Dentistry here.

Describing terrorism and radicalism as the biggest threat to the entire world, he said the educational institutes should impart education on principles of all the religions which oppose strongly any form of terrorism, bloodshed and violence as these terror forces are engaged in a campaign to misguide the people by misusing the  religion.

“Due to the strength of India’s unity, harmony and brotherhood, IS and other terror outfits have failed in their nefarious designs but still we have to be alert against these terror groups.

There is a need for a nation-wide awareness campaign against these forces,” Mr Naqvi said.  He added that the Narendra Modi government was dedicated to provide a better future to the youth.

The programmes including ‘Skill India’, ‘Make in India’, ‘Startup India’ will provided ample opportunities to the youths.

Moreover, Mr Naqvi said: “It’s our duty to strengthen fabric of harmony and prosperity in the country. Minorities’ institutions should work to provide technical and mainstream education to far flung villages.”  (AGENCIES)
