National Security Adviser (NSA) Ajit Doval said on July 30 that a few people try to incite violence in the name of religion and ideology; this not only impacts the country but also has international ramifications.
Mr. Doval was speaking at Ajmer-based All India Sajjadnashin Council’s (AISC) inter-faith meeting, where a resolution was passed to ban organisations such as the Popular Front of India (PFI) that have been “indulging in anti-national activities”.
Such “elements and forces” were trying to obstruct India’s progress, he said. “Such divisive voices get amplified and one of the reasons for this is that most of you don’t oppose them vociferously and the acts of a small minority appears to become the voice of India,” said Mr. Doval, while pointing to the delegates present at the meeting.
