SP lauds Muslims for peaceful Ijtema in Ongole

Ongole: Prakasam District SP Siddharth Kaushal appreciated the Islamic leaders and organisers on Sunday evening for the peaceful and successful conduct of the Ijtema for two days in Ongole.

Ijtema is an Islamic congregation organized by the Islamic organizations in association with the thousands of Muslims. A huge number of people engage in the Ijtema, as it is an essential part of the Tablighi Jamaat around the world and it plays a significant role in the lives of Muslims.

The Jamaat leaders explain the basic principles of Islam and how to follow the commandments in the religion strictly in their lives and in their dealings with the others.
