The recent visit of Prince Karim Aga Khan played a key role in strengthening the bonds of coexistence and interfaith harmony. A rare display of volunteerism was also witnessed on the occasion. The Sunni community remained in the forefront in assisting their Ismaili brethren to accord a warm welcome to their spiritual leader.
On the day of the visit, the elders of the Sunni community displayed banners with the inscription of felicitations and welcome to receive the people coming to the Deedar Gah – the place of congregation to catch a glimpse of the Imam). Ismaili volunteers also demonstrated an extraordinary prowess of volunteerism by undertaking the Herculean task of repairing roads, constructing bridges, and providing lodging, food and transport to thousands of congregants. It is a good omen for both the communities to work together for mutual peace and harmony, and contributing towards socioeconomic development.
