The Rev Minister urged religious leaders to use their positions to educate the masses on the need to ensure peace before, during and after the December 7 polls since they have the power of influence on their people.

He called for religious tolerance and the need to respect one another’s religion and avoid any tendencies that would mar the beauty of the country’s democracy.
