KOZHIKODE: Syed Yusuf Hashim Rifee, former Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, Kuwait, inaugurated the 29th anniversary and 13th convocation ceremony of Markaz Ssaquafathi Ssunniyya (Sunni cultural centre) at Karanthur, near here, on Friday.
At the inauguration, Mr. Rifee said Islam was against terrorism and its aim is to build unity among all human beings. Delivering the keynote address, Minister for Water Resources N.K. Premachandran said imperialist forces were bent on destroying Islam by arraigning it as the accused in the name of terrorism. People of all countries should unite against imperialist forces.
