SRINAGAR, Oct 21: J&K Waqf Board Chairperson Dr Darakhshan Andrabi today led the `Poshak-Bandi’ celebration at the shrine of Hazrat Nooruddin Noorani (RA) at Charar-e-Sharief ahead of the upcoming annual Urs.
This was for the first time that the Waqf Board managed the celebration after recent reforms in the functioning of shrine management throughout J&K. Earlier, this used to be managed by a few locals and Waqf Board who had the responsibility of all Waqf management affairs had no role in the organizing of these revered celebrations.
Waqf Board members Dr Ghulam Nabi Haleem and Syed Mohammad Hussain Haqqani were also present in addition to the Board Magistrate Ishtiyaq Mohiuddin and other senior officers of Waqf Board and the J&K government. The local rishis and prominent citizens were also present. Dr Andrabi met many devotees there who were all praise for the reformatory decisions taken by the Board.
Addressing people Andrabi said that radicalization of our youth for more than three decades fetched us misery, sorrow, backwardness and bad name only. “Sufi-Rishi thought is the strength of our diverse and peaceful society and in the changing Jammu & Kashmir we all need to put in efforts to replace radicalism by the spiritual Sufi practices so that we become harbingers of peace in J&K,” she said.
Referring to the message of Alamdar Nooruddin Noorani (RA), she said that he being the ambassador of our spiritual excellence, spirit of inclusiveness and the epitome of co-existence will continue to lead our generations to the greater good, peace and excellence in life.
Waqf Board members Dr Ghulam Nabi Haleem & Syed Mohammad Hussain Haqqani also threw light on the message of Nund Rishi, the flag bearer of spirituality.
Andrabi the Board members also attended the function at Alamdar Waqf Higher Secondary School Chrar-e-Sharief.
