Addressing the certificate awarding ceremony, Dr. Aijaz Ali Khooharo, Dean Faculty of Agricultural Social Sciences said that the nations can only develop by adopting tolerance. “The result of intolerance is nothing but destruction. Unfortunately, intolerance has increased to a dangerous level in our society.”
Dr. Khooharo said that it is extreme of intolerance that even though we don’t know each other, we quarrel on social media over petty ego, and spread hatred to millions of people in seconds through social media, being not afraid of its negative effects. “The political activists have made social media a political weapon instead of using it for development, which has created a civil war-like situation in the society.”
He said that people of different schools of thought are fighting each other all over the country, and hundreds of incidents of intolerance and violence are witnessed daily on the streets. “These kinds of actions are the biggest obstacle in our economic, social, and moral and development path,” he said.
He emphasized that for peace and order and peaceful life in the society, the culture of patience and tolerance has to be promoted, while Political, social, religious and intellectual leaders should teach people good morals and patience while teachers should teach morals to students and make them believe that the society cannot afford any kind of mischief and riots.
