Q. If we talk about terrorism, how we can end terrorism from the country which is came down in graph but yet seen in many places ?
Indresh Kumar: Terrorism is the enemy of peace, development, harmony and humanity. Bombs, ammo, shells, bullets or stones are not the solution to any problem.

Q. Is religion becoming an issue in harmony ??
Indresh Kumar: It was also agreed in the seminar that criticizing religion, scriptures, religious places, religious importance, religious great men i.e. goddesses, deities, prophets, prophets… creates violence and anarchy which is condemnable. That’s why all religions should follow their own religion and should not disrespect other religions, thus keeping the path of peace, unity, brotherhood and harmony.
Q. Conversion is becoming an issue in society that is also rising hatred for one community, what is your stand on it?
Indresh Kumar: The Chief Patron of Forum for Awareness of National Security (FANS) said that it is necessary to stop religious conversions for world peace and development. Riot-free humanity and a proud nation can be made from this. Appreciating this statement of the union leader, the representatives of all the countries present unitedly protested against the conversion and believed that religious frenzy, molestation and conversion is the path of unrighteousness and should be strictly banned.
Q. We heard in seminar peace and harmony can not be established with India, please elaborate?
Indresh Kumar: It was discussed in the seminar that the path of world peace and progress passes through Asia and peace and harmony cannot be established in the world without India. All the countries also approved the proposal that all the present countries should increase cooperation and coordination among themselves.

Q. Seminar also mention about Digital word…!!
Indresh Kumar: Today is the era of digital, things get expanded in a second.
