Srinagar, July 10, 2023 (PPI-OT): Senior APHC leader and the President of Anjuman Sharie Shian, Agha Syed Hassan Al-Moosvi Al-Safvi has denounced the authorities for lack of foolproof arrangements for the observance of the upcoming Muharram in the territory. Agha Syed Hassan Al-Moosvi Al-Safvi in a statement issued in Srinagar said the authorities are not keen on making arrangements for Muharram, which is going to start in a week’s time.
“Arrangements are made months before for Amarnath yatris. It’s good that such arrangements are made for Amarnath pilgrims, and we are happy. But at the same time, it is disturbing to see the discriminatory approach from the administration,” he said, adding that arrangements should not be made based on religion.
“We need uninterrupted power supply, clean drinking water, and sanitation, but such arrangements are missing. There is a cold response from the authorities,” he claimed. Agha Syed Hassan Al-Moosvi Al-Safvi appealed to the rulers to completely lift the ban on Muharram processions. “If there is peace and stability, then why are Muharram processions being banned? We expect the authorities to allow Muharram processions this time,” he said.
He also highlighted the problems and grievances faced by the people of Budgam district. He said scores of people visit him with their grievances. “People face multiple problems, and there is nobody to listen to them. On one hand, much hype is being given to so-called development, and on the other, grievances are not being addressed,” he said.
