West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday said her government respects all religions and schools of thought.
The CM, on the occasion of World Philosophy Day, wrote in a Twitter post that tolerance is instrumental in the progress of civilisation.
"Today is World Philosophy Day. We respect all schools of thought. We respect all religions. Tolerance is the key to the progress of civilisation. My best wishes to all," Banerjee wrote on her Twitter handle.
In order to renew the national, subregional, regional and international commitment to philosophy, the UNESCO introduced the World Philosophy Day in 2002.
