Jordan's King Abdullah at Vigyan Bhavan; updates: 'We need to take back the airwaves from voices of hate'

King Abdullah speaks of radicalisation

“It was wisely said, ’the world is one family’. We have a shared responsibility to each other and the world. Today’s global war against terror is a fight by moderates of all communities against extremists whose faith is hate and violence. We need to take back the airwaves and internet from voices of hatred.”

Jordan and the world

“My father believed leadership in any place, all leadership means serving the hopes and good of others. This is my duty rooted in our religion Islam. It is why my highest priority is the people of Jordan and securing a better future for all. Jordanians, Christians and Muslims, have worked together to help neighbours near and far,” continues the king.

‘It is faith that allows us to prosper and thrive bringing together all sorts of people’

“To understand each other, to recognise our shared humanity, to act righteously in the sight of God. This is my faith, this is the faith I teach my children and the faith shared by 1.8 billion people across the world — a quarter of humanity,” says King Abdullah.

‘Take fears seriously, but never distract us from the truth: That faith brings humanity together’

“Around the world, suspicions are enflamed about what groups don’t know about each other,” says King Abdullah, pointing to the fanning of hate across the world

Prime minister calls for  youths to balance religion with science

मज़हब का मर्म अमानवीय हो ही नहीं सकता। हर पन्थ, हर संप्रदाय, हर परंपरा मानवीय मूल्यों को बढ़ावा देने के लिए ही है।
इसलिए, आज सबसे ज्यादा ज़रूरत ये है कि हमारे युवा एक तरफ मानवीय इस्लाम से जुड़े हों और दूसरी तरफ आधुनिक विज्ञान और तरक्की के साधनों का इस्तेमाल भी कर सकें: PM

PM moves to the topic of radicalisation

“Those who attack humanity perhaps don’t understand that the damage is caused to the very faith for which they claim to be standing up… In India, it’s our belief that everyone must progress together,” says Modi.

‘Democracy not just a political system’

“Indian democracy is a celebration of our age-old plurality,” says Narendra Modi

All religions flourish in the soil of India

Whether it was Lord Buddha 2,500 years ago or Mahatma Gandhi in the last century. The peace and tranquility of peace and tranquility is spread all over the world by the charm of India, says Modi

‘All world religions prosper in India’

India, the prime minister says, sends out a message of peace and harmony. He notes the role of Delhi and in the past, Indraprastha, in Sufiism.

Narendra Modi begins his speech

The prime minister thanks King Abdullah for accepting his invitation. “Your country and our friend Jordan has an unparalleled place in the history of the world and spirituality,” says Modi.
