The Prime Minister, while maintaining the Ganga-Jamuni Tehzeeb, has presented this Chadar as a tribute to the Dargah of Khwaja Garib Nawaz.”
Yasir Jilani, the charge of BJP Minority Morcha national media informed that PM Modi has sent flowers and ‘Chadar of Aqidat’ to be offered on the occasion of Urs of Khwaja Garib Nawaz.
Chishti was born in Sijistan (modern-day Sistan) in Iran in 1141-42 CE. He came to the Indian subcontinent in the 13th century and settled in Ajmer, Rajasthan. He founded and spread the Chishti Order of Sunni Islam in the Indian subcontinent.
The Chishti Order emphasized the doctrine of the unity of being with God and members of the order were also pacifists. Chishti made Ajmer his home from 1192 till his death in 1236 AD. The shrine was built by Mughal King Humayun in honor of this saint.
