The Chairman and Managing Director of LuLu Group called UAE a land of tolerance, the legacy of which was set by Father of the Nation Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
“There are places of worship for all religions in UAE as the leaders here are ensuring a cordial environment for the co-existence of different religions. They are following the legacy of tolerance set by the Father of the nation Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan,” he said.
The location of the proposed church, the construction of which is already in progress, is near BAPS Hindu Mandir in Abu Dhabi.
Yusuffali was recently in the news for saving Becks Krishnan’s life by paying blood money, which is financial compensation paid to the victim or heirs of a victim in the cases of death, bodily harm or property damage.
He had paid Indian Rs 1 crore to save him from death row for killing a young Sudanese boy in a road accident in 2012.
