New Delhi: Sending a strong signal of inclusiveness, the Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi will offer a chaadar at the famous Ajmer Dargah of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti. The Prime Minister on Friday hailed the Sufi saint as a “symbol of great spiritual traditions of India”.
Following the massive victory in Uttar Pradesh, in which the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) reportedly got a significant chunk of Muslim votes, particularly of the women, it will now be working to woo the community.
A chaadar (shawl) will be offered at the famous Ajmer Dargah of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti on behalf of the Prime Minister, official sources said.
Mr Modi on Friday handed over the ‘chaadar’ to minister of state for minority affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and minister of state in the PMO Jitendra Singh here for offering it at the shrine during the ‘Urs’ (festival) which starts on March 30. The PM conveyed greetings and best wishes to Khwaja Chishti's followers across the world. In his message, Mr Modi said, “Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti is a symbol of the great spiritual traditions of India.”
