International Conference against Terrorism

JMUF, which has laid its thrust on the promotion of brotherhood and global peace when the scourge of terrorism threatens the same, has convened this conference against the terrorism. Mr. Syed Yahya Bukhari, President, JMUF chaired the meeting.

In today’s scenario, in our own country many states are withstanding the worst of terrorism in diverse form, which is out there to destroy the world: but certainly, we can not give these enemies of humanity a befitting reply by reacting in the manner similar to theirs. What is needed to get rid of their dangerous designs & actions is to mobilize awareness about the problem on the global level cutting across all sections of the world.

With the above mentioned purposes, the JMUF organized an international conference against terrorism with the topic on 'Terrorism National and International'. To make the international conference purposeful, successful & effective in achieving this objective eminent scholars, social activists, religious heads, politicians & luminaries from all walks of life were invited from across the world to elicit their views & suggestions.

The conference was a grand success as it was attended by prominent figures like Cabinet Ministers, Chief Ministers, Ambassadors of various countries, Senior Bureaucrats, Social Activists along with prominent media persons and on top of all HH the Dalai Lama.
