The Udupi district unit of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind started organizing a month-long district-wide campaign, “Quran for all” from Friday.
In a press release issued on Thursday, Shabbir Ahmed, president of the district unit of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, said that the aim of the campaign is to clear "ignorance and misunderstandings” about Islam and Muslims.
The organization believed that through this campaign, it was possible to create a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere in society.
During the campaign, the Jamaat-e-Islami Hind would conduct personal meetings, and meet religious, social, political and academic leaders. It would also organize indoor meetings, conduct essay competitions, and distribute books, booklets, pamphlets, and also give away Kannada and English copies of the Holy Quran.
The valedictory program is on March 27.
