The Shillong All Faiths Forum (SAFF) has appealed citizens of Meghalaya to refrain from any form of hatred and violence.
Expressing concern over the recent killings at Ichamati and Mawlai Mawroh, the faith leaders said, “We appeal to all the citizens to maintain peace, harmony and amity among all the sections of people residing in the state and refrain from any form of hatred and violence. As we are heading for the forthcoming polls, let us be calm and judicious.”
The SAFF also urged the government and state machineries to protect the citizens and prevent such violence in the state.
“Peace is a sign that God is with us. If we have God in ourselves and in our midst is peace. Peace is what God wants to give to humans and to humanity. We do have differences, but a difference in harmony,” the forum said.
