New Delhi,
\nThe message of peace and harmony is \u201cbeautifully portrayed\u201d in the holy Quran and people often do not understand its essence, Army Chief Gen Bipin Rawat told a group of students from J&K\u0010today, adding it does not propagate violence.<\/p>\n
Interacting with the group of madrassa students at his office here, General Rawat also asked them to take to sports, such as cricket and football, and work towards containing terrorism so that the Valley flourishes again.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow many of you have read the holy Quran?\u201d General Rawat asked the 25-member group which is here as part of a national integration tour being conducted by the Army. \u201cI will tell you what is the message in it. It is the message of peace and harmony . And, it has been beautifully portrayed in it. And, all the noise being made by the Islamic State, is nowhere mentioned in Quran,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, you must follow the message embedded in the holy text. You think people understand the message. We do not properly understand it. In simple ways, the Quran has given the lessons \u201d the Army chief asserted.<\/p>\n
The students, aged 13-22, arrived here on December 12 and many of them are visiting Delhi for the first time.<\/p>\n
Various militant outfits have been trying to radicalise the youth in the Valley by using different means, including online propaganda. A number of people were arrested in the Valley in the past few months on charges of raising IS flags.<\/p>\n
The Army chief warmly shook hands with all students and accompanying teachers and asked them what difference they found between Delhi and Kashmir.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnlike Kashmir, you do not see bunkers here, people roam at night in peace. We want the same peaceful environment in J&K\u0010\u0010too so that you can fearlessly go to schools and madrassas.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Valley is equated with the heaven, and if you want that land to flourish, we must stop terrorism,\u201d General Rawat said. He suggested that they engage themselves in constructive activities. \u201cPlay cricket and football, but I hear that the youth there play hide-and-seek with weapons,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
