Hyderabad: At a time when communal tension is engulfing Hydreabad, a group of Muslim men and women gathered at KBR National Park in Hyderabad today to spread the message of peace and harmony - at a time when different communities seem to be disturbed by Akbaruddin Owaisi's hate speech.

Volunteers of Jamaat-e-Islam Hind's local chapter distributed white roses among the evening joggers at the park for bridging the gap between communities.

While men exchanged current issues concerning both communities, women tried to convince over 300 walkers about the necessity of communal harmony for a healthy society.

The volunteers also invited these joggers and walkers for an inter-faith dialogue to be conducted on Sunday in a three-day 'Spring of Islam' conference at Nizam College Ground in Basheerbagh.

In the conference, which is slated to begin Friday, national and international speakers are schedule to speak on topics ranging from gender justice to human rights.
