A delegation of Dargah heads from across the country led by the Chairman Of The All India Sufi Sajjadanashin Council, Syed Naseruddin Chishti, met with multiple union ministers to voice their support for Operation Sindoor. The operation, launched by Indian Army, targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu Kashmir (PoJK), following the Pahalgam terror attack.
The delegation went to Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's residence on Sunday and then met with Union Ministers Kiren Rijiju and Arjun Meghwal. BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla was also part of the delegation.
"Today, under the leadership of Chairman Of The All India Sufi Sajjadanshin Council, Syed Naseruddin Chishti, this delegation represented the most prominent dargahs of our country from north to south, from west to east, from different dargahs," Poonawalla told news agency ANI after the meeting.
"The delegation went to the residence of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, then they reached out to the Parliamentary Affairs Minister, Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju and now to Law Minister Arjun Meghwal," he added.
Poonawalla said the main purpose of the visit was to discuss the April 22 Pahalgam attack and express support for the retaliation by India against Pakistan and Operation Sindoor.
"The main purpose of this delegation was to talk about Pahalgam, which was done by Pakistan-sponsored terrorism; it was an attack on humanity and Indianness. Strongly condemning that, our Air Force launched Operation Sindoor, showing the military power of India," he added.
He went on to praise PM Modi's policy of zero tolerance on terrorism, he added, "Under the leadership of PM Modi, a government with strong political will has given a befitting reply to Pakistan-sponsored terrorism today and a new doctrine was established, which is giving a reply to bullets with bullets."
