[h=1]Blindfolded Kashmiri Pandit hugs it out to promote brotherhood in Valley[/h]
Amid a raging debate on intolerance in the country, a Kashmiri Pandit stood blindfolded in the heart of the city, inviting people to hug him to exhibit brotherhood between various communities in the Valley on Monday.
Inspired by a Muslim man who stood blindfolded in Paris, asking people to embrace him if they trusted him after the November 13 attacks, Sandeep Mawa, a doctor by profession, stood at Press Colony here asking people to hug him.
He was accompanied by members from Sikh and Muslim community, who embraced people irrespective of their religion to send a message of tolerance.
“We, all humans, are alike. When God has not differentiated between us, why should there be any division? There should not be any intolerance. This is the message we want to send across,” Mawa, who is the chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Reconciliation Front, said.
