Sultanpur (UP): Sending a message of communal harmony, a Muslim family got special wedding cards printed for their daughter's wedding to invite their Hindu guests.
The family, belonging to Uttar Pradesh's Baghsarai village, got two sets of cards printed separately for the Hindu and Muslim guests.
Mohammad Salim's daughter Jahana Bano married Yusuf Mohammad on April 29. His son Azad told PTI, "Around 250 to 300 cards were printed for the Muslim guests in traditional Islamic style, while 130 to 140 cards were printed for the Hindu guests in the shape of a calendar (scroll) with the pictures of gods and goddesses."
"It was the idea of the entire family...we have friends among the Muslims as well as the Hindus," Azad said.
To a question on whether the family would follow the practice in the future, Azad said, "There is nothing wrong in it...it's only a gesture, welcoming them..."
"It is a goodwill gesture for my Hindu brothers. If we show respect to their gods, they will definitely show respect to the Muslim community," he added.
