Sufi dargahs voice support to India

Jaipur: Syed Sarwar Chishty, Secretary of Anjuman—the managing body of clerics at the Dargah Ajmer Sharif—voiced steadfast support for India amidst the current situation, underscoring the enduring bond between Sufi Dargahs and the nation.

"Sufi Dargahs across the country have always stood with our beloved motherland, India, in every situation. This is our sacred land where our Sufi saints rest," Chishty affirmed. He recalled the Khadim (cleric) community's historic resolution in 1947 to support India wholeheartedly. "During the wars of 1965, 1971, and Kargil, we extended moral and financial support to the best of our capacity, establishing a legacy of unity and brotherhood with the nation," he said.

Chishty said this relationship is far more than symbolic—it is a testament to the community's deep-rooted patriotism and solidarity. TNN
