SRINAGAR,
AUGUST 09: The Deputy Chief Minister, Dr Nirmal Singh today said
that Sufism is the path to bring peace in the world besides promoting mutual
brotherhood and harmony among different sections of the society.
The Deputy Chief Minister was addressing a gathering after attending the
inaugural function of the week-long Urs being held at the shrine of Hazrat
Nanga Bhaji Sahab at Malangam, Bandipora.
Dr Singh said Kashmir is the abode of great Sufi saints whose teachings have
always preached mutual coexistence, brotherhood and peace. He said the need of
the hour is to follow the teachings of these great saints for leading an
emancipated life devoid of strife and conflict.
The Deputy Chief Minister said these teachings are more relevant in today’s
context where the world is torn by conflict and mutual distrust between
different communities and nations. He said the teachings of these seers and
saints need to be propagated especially among the younger generation some of
whom are being misled by the vicious propaganda of those having nefarious
designs of trying to create chasm between different sections of society and
plunge the world into an era of chaos and confusion.
It is pertinent to mention that the week-long Urs of the saint is attended by
devotees from Punjab, Haryana, Himachal and PoK.
The Deputy Chief Minister also paid obeisance at the shrine and prayed for
peace in the State.
Later, the Deputy Chief Minister also reviewed the arrangements being put in
place for the smooth conduct of the annual Urs. It was attended by Deputy
Commissioner Bandipora,, SSP Bandipora, other senior officers of the
administration and prominent citizens and political activists of the area.
Dr Singh directed the officers to synergize their efforts for ensuring smooth
conduct of the Urs. He said necessary mechanism should be put in place so that
the devotees coming to pay their obeisance do not face any incontinence
viz-a-viz the basic amenities and other essentials.
