Dozens of people took out a candlelight vigil in Hazrat Nizamuddin area on Sunday evening to voice their protests against the terror attacks by ISIS and other such groups.
Organised by Khudai Khidmatgar, a movement started by spiritual leader Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, and Mohammadia Foundation that works for “peace in the world”, the vigil was followed by a peace march from Hazrat Nizamuddin police station to the dargarh nearby.
The participants carried placards and banners which equated ISIS with terror states and called for suicide bombers to stop their activities. Photographs of terror attacks and of their victims marked the placards.
The attendees termed the gathering a “common Muslim response” to the terror attacks in the recent past. “This is a spontaneous response by all those who are against the menace of terrorism. We are here to show solidarity with the victims of terror attacks and to isolate the terrorists,” said Shaikh Jilani, a trustee with Mohammadia Foundation.
The organisers said people across religions and castes attended the march.
