The UN reverberated with the soulful sound of Sufi music as India, the current President of Security Council, hosted a musical event that focussed on the message of tolerance, pluralism and peace.

The theme of the concert, which coincided with the fourth anniversary of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, was 'Love towards All, Malice Towards None .' Organised by the Indian mission yesterday on the occasion of India's Presidency of the Council, the musical event brought together three genres of music including the renowned Shahi Qawwals from Ajmer and the UN Symphony Orchestra.
