UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres requires the total respect of all religions and for guaranteeing that completely different communities can stay in concord and peace globally, his spokesperson Stephane Dujarric has stated amidst communal tensions in Rajasthan after the killing of a tailor in Udaipur.
Dujarric stated this in response to a query on whether or not the UN chief has a touch upon the “resurgence” of non secular tensions in India following the killing of Kanhaiya Lal. Two males, recognized as Riaz Akhtari and Ghouse Mohammad, with a cleaver hacked Lal to demise in Udaipur metropolis and posted movies on-line that stated they’re avenging an insult to Islam, triggering stray circumstances of violence within the Rajasthan metropolis, part of which was positioned below curfew.
“We very much hope… we call for the full respect of all religions and for ensuring, throughout the world, that different communities can live in harmony and in peace,” Dujarric stated on the every day press briefing right here on Wednesday.
In response to a different query on the arrest of Alt News co-founder Mohammad Zubair, he stated: “We believe in a fundamental right of expression. We believe in the fundamental right of journalists to express themselves and we also believe in the fundamental need for people to respect other communities and other religions. And we don’t believe the two are… we believe those two sentiments are very much compatible”. Zubair was arrested by the Delhi Police on Monday over an “objectionable tweet” he had posted in 2018 in opposition to a Hindu deity.
