New Delhi: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Friday urged people to challenge communal forces.



"We as a people have an overall secular outlook. It is only a small group of people that is responsible for creating divisions amongst us," he told a National Communal Harmony Awards ceremony here.

"I also believe that it is the duty of each one of us to resist these forces," he said.

The prime minister referred to the communal riots in Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Prades that left more than 40 people and forced thousands to flee their homes.
