New Delhi, June 9 (UNI) Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian, who is visiting India met with top Islamic clerics and scholars in New Delhi and talked about "the insults against the holy Prophet of Islam and expressed deep regret about the upsetting incident”.
He condemned the "insult against the prophet of Islam", saying “India has been a land of compassion and tolerance and is always a refuge and a front for different viewpoints. Therefore, he said, such raucous clamor neither suits India nor is rooted in India, and surely followers of all religions in the Indian territory oppose such comments”, according to the Iranian foreign ministry.
This, he said, was a point taken up clearly, and in different manners, by Indian officials during this visit.
