War in West Asia violated all international norms: Kanthapuram
Sunni leader Kanthapuram A.P. Aboobacker Musliyar has said that countries like India have a moral duty to support the United Nations in opposing and defeating the autocratic tendencies of world leaders who interfere in the sovereignty of other nations.
Speaking at the World Peace Summit organised as part of the centenary celebrations of the Samastha Kerala Jemiyyathul Ulama in Kozhikode on Wednesday, Mr. Kanthapuram, general secretary of Samastha, said the war in West Asia that had just been put on hold had violated all international norms, and that the world nations were mute spectators as serious war crimes were committed.
He added that India should take the initiative to put an end to the Ukraine- Russia war and the genocide in Gaza by Israel. Samastha president E. Sulaiman Musliyar presided over the event.
June 26 is the 100th foundation day of the Samastha. As part of the centenary celebrations, flag hoisting will be held at 8,000 unit centres, while special assemblies will be held in over 10,000 madrasas. Peace rallies will be held at 700 circle centres. The theme of the celebrations is 'War is not a solution'.
Earlier, addressing the media, he said the Samastha still upheld the ideals that governed it over the century.
He said the organisation was in talks with the State government on the change in school timings, highlighting its concern about the extension of school timings affecting madrasa students.
