Famous Singer and activist Bhupen Hazarika sings, ‘Give me a white man whose blood is white; give me a black man whose blood is white’. We are sure to be seen in a new, civilized and advanced, non-communal, democratic and human world where religion, race and colour will not be obstructed.

IMCS stands in support with the victims’ families in Sri Lanka. We stand against any idea of hurting another human being for her/his religion, skin colour, faith, beliefs, orientation, gender, and ideology.

We call upon the religious institutions, civil society, governments and fellow human beings around the world to join us in condemning this brutal massacre and we demand to respond appropriately to engage in the education of masses against such fanaticism. We believe we can put an end to blind hate and terrorism. As a global youth movement, we call upon all youth to spread love and acceptance in the pursuit of truth, justice and peace via forming Justice and Truth themed movements or via other creative ways.

Let us choose love to rebuild peace, harmony and solidarity.
