Saudi Arabia founded and funds the Muslim World League, an international Islamic non-governmental organization. Al-Issa landed in India on Monday for a six-day stay.
He also lauded the Muslim minority in India for their sense of patriotism, saying, “They are proud that they are Indian nationals, and they are proud of their Constitution.”
India has a secular constitution, says Al-Issa
India, despite being a Hindu-majority nation, has a secular constitution. I deeply respect Sadhguru and Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. We have many common values with many Hindu leaders, and we respect differences. We know the Muslim component is an important component. Indian Muslims are proud of being Indians. Religion can become a role model for cooperation. We wish to reach out to everyone for understanding. Indian wisdom has done a lot for humanity. India is a great model for coexistence for the entire world. There are many negative trends in the world, and we have to work to strengthen our common values. India is a great model for coexistence for the entire world. I have been engaging with diverse sections of India’s society. It’s the duty of every Indian to be patriotic.
