History has been made in Lucknow with Shia and Sunni sects simultaneously taking out azadari and madh- e-saheba processions ... after more than 20 years. It is a matter of added satisfaction that the entire exercise has passed off peacefully ... Religious leaders of both the sects will do well to carry forward their new-found attitude of conciliation. Having made a beginning, there is no reason why they should look back. Their effort must be directed at burying once and for all the ghost of the 1977 riots and remove all traces of bitterness between the two sects ... It is a feather in the cap of the Kalyan Singh Government that there is, finally, hope of permanent peace returning to Lucknow ...
