Amidst rising religious polarisation, a recent blood donation camp at Masjid-e-Mamoor, Koramangala, where over 500 men and women from various communities gathered and donated blood, had a poignant resonance. The success of the initiative has spurred the mosque committee to expand it to 100 mosques, under the banner ‘Blood Flood’ across the city.
“The events in the State for the past several months are only poisoning the minds of people, especially the youth, trying to pitch one community against the other, harping on the differences, and trying to demonise us. The blood donation camp is a very good way to tell people that all of us are the same, with the same blood flowing in our body,” said Mohammed Rehan Nawab, president, Masjid-e-Mamoor Committee.
“Encouraged by the response, we are now expanding the initiative to 100 mosques across the city,” he said.
