Urging the people of the country to promote the motto of 'unity in diversity', West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Friday stressed on the need for interfaith harmony for peaceful coexistence.
Banerjee acknowledged the value of interfaith harmony as the need of the hour, especially in the "times of strife and violence".
World Interfaith Harmony Week starts today. Acknowledging the value of interfaith harmony in these times of strife and violence is the need of the hour. Let us uphold the motto of 'unity in diversity', Banerjee wrote on her Twitter handle.
