About 20,000 policemen were deployed across the city after 30,000 northeast people left for Guwahati by special trains from Aug 15-17 following rumours of attacks on them.

Emphasizing importance of fasting of Muslims during the month of Ramadan, he said, community would not involve in any sort of committing mistakes, lying and betrayal. He called upon the gathering to continue the same after the end of fasting season and aid the needy.

He requested Islam community to spread the message of communal harmony to the world and live their entire life in accordance to Allah's wish. “Participate in festivals of other religions and never forget to involve them in yours.”
