The leadership of different religious and political organisations also vowed that any bid to create religious and political instability in the country will not be allowed to succeed adding that unity of Muslims is need of the time to contain Israel-India nexus. The participants of the conference also said that all the Islamic schools of thought and religious sects fully endorse movement of the people of Kashmir and Palestine.
