Andhra Pradesh-Hyderabad
By Our Special Correspondent
A delegation of the organisations recently toured the riot-hit parts of that State. Members of the team said doctors in some hospitals were not treating patients of a particular community. In a joint statement released at a press conference here on Wednesday, they said the guilty should be punished. The statement was signed by P.M. Bhargava, chairman, and C.M. Habibullah, S.S. Reddy, members of MARCH, Shakira, president, and Shyam Sunder Reddy, secretary, DPAD. They appealed to people of all religions to mobilise public opinion and work towards bringing all communities together. ``We believe that all religions prescribe a common code of ethical conduct. It is in the process of propagation that the highly desirable universal values of religion are distorted by intermediaries such as gurus, priests and mullahs with a view to serving parochial interest through creation of conflict and problems," the statement said. "It is these intermediaries that give wrong and varying interpretations to the essential and universal components of all religions, thus confusing a segment of people to the point of their becoming irrational and fanatic,'' the statement added.
