NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday lauded the Sufi tradition as India’s shared heritage and praised its saints for their pluralistic message, saying they recited the verses of Quran and also listened to the Vedas.
Speaking at the 25th edition of Jahan-e-Khusrau, which commemorates famous Sufi poet and scholar Amir Khusrau, Modi said the Sufi tradition has carved a unique identity for itself in India.
Following a performance by Sufi artistes, Modi said their music is a shared heritage of Indians. People have lived this tradition together, he added.
