The gathering brought together religious leaders from diverse faiths, top government officials, and political leaders, including Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, to collectively denounce terrorism and uphold India\u2019s cultural and communal harmony.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing the congregation, Governor Shukla issued a scathing condemnation of Pakistan\u2019s repeated promotion of terrorism. Referring to the recent provocations, he said, \u201cPakistan not only harbours terrorists but also glorifies them. Even its army participates in the funerals of terrorists, and its ministers openly endorse extremist ideology.\u201d The Governor labeled the April 22 incident, which prompted India to dismantle terrorist hideouts in retaliation, as a turning point, adding that Pakistan responded with a grave violation by targeting civilians, including religious places such as temples and gurudwaras across the international border.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese actions reveal the true face of terrorism and highlight the sinister ideology behind such provocations,\u201d the Governor said. He emphasized the importance of communal solidarity, calling on religious leaders and citizens alike to resist misinformation, especially on social media platforms. \u201cLet us collectively expose and condemn every attempt to fracture our unity. No force can weaken the spirit of India,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu echoed similar sentiments, saying that India\u2019s diverse religious heritage is its greatest strength. \u201cWhenever our sovereignty or cultural identity is challenged, Indians unite beyond political lines,\u201d he stated. Praising the Indian Armed Forces, the Chief Minister expressed full faith in their ability to give a befitting response to any aggression. \u201cOur armed forces act with integrity and adhere to humanitarian principles\u2014unlike Pakistan, we do not target civilians,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>He also appealed to the public to follow official guidelines and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) issued by the Government to ensure safety and peace.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting saw participation from various religious representatives who voiced their shared commitment to harmony and peace. They emphasized the need for collective efforts to safeguard national unity and stand against any attempt to divide communities.<\/p>\n<p>Notable attendees included MLA Vivek Sharma, Principal Advisor Media to the Chief Minister Naresh Chauhan, Shimla Mayor Surender Chauhan, Chief Secretary Prabodh Saxena, Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Onkar Sharma, Director General of Police Dr. Atul Verma, Secretary to the Governor C.P. Verma, Additional DGP Ajay Yadav, senior officers from ARTRAC, and several other dignitaries.<\/p>\n<p>The Interfaith Harmony Meet served not only as a platform to foster dialogue among faiths but also as a unified declaration against the forces attempting to disrupt India\u2019s peace and unity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Leads Interfaith Harmony Meet at Raj Bhavan Shimla to Reaffirm National Unity Amid Cross-Border Tensions.\u00a0 &nbsp;
