Srinagar : Chairperson of Jammu & Kashmir Waqf Board and Minister of State Dr Darakhshan Andrabi on Friday visited Chrar-e-Sharief and paid obeisance at the Ziyarat of Alamdar-e-Kashmir (RA) on Annual Urs today. She prayed at the shrine and took part in the spiritual recitations held as a part of special Urs programmes. Dr Andrabi prayed for the peace and prosperity of whole of humanity.
According to a statement issued here, Dr Darakhshan inaugurated new utility centre in the shrine complex constructed by the Waqf Board. She said that we will soon lay foundation stone for Bait-ul-Zayireen for the visitors in the complex.
Speaking to media Dr Andrabi said that it was really great to see such a huge gathering at the shrine on this day amid peace and tranquility in the vale. “Kashmir is Jannat-e-Kashmir because of the spiritual teachings of Rishis & Sufis. We have the worst happening to us during past three decades. Our enemies burnt our shrines and sermonised us about banning our devotional bondage with such shrines. But thanks to the decisions of our government, we are now living in a peaceful Kashmir again and celebrating at our shrines. This is the era of revival of our glorious traditions”, said Darakhshan. She thanked all the departments of the government for cooperating with Waqf Board in putting in place adequate arrangements at the shrine. She thanked the people for showing again their unwavering belief in these Sufi centres and our sufis.
