CM condemns rise of religious fundamentalism
The Hindu
He says Guru’s creed of humanism is the need of the hour
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Monday said the powerful current of humanism that animated the teachings of 19th-century social reformer Sree Narayana Guru was a panacea for the world riven by communal and racial conflicts. Inaugurating the birth anniversary celebrations of the Renaissance leader via videoconference from Kannur, Mr. Vijayan used the occasion to condemn the rise of religious fundamentalism in Afghanistan. He said Afghanistan was an example of what would happen to a nation consumed by religious fundamentalism. “Fundamentalism is a destructive fire that lays civilisations and nations to waste,” he said.More Related News
