Nampally: On the occasion of 808th birth anniversary of Sufi Saint Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Hasan Chishti, Dr K Laxman, the president of BJP Telangana, handed over 'Chader' to party men as part of offering at Ajmer, Rajasthan, at the BJP State office on Wednesday.

According to Mir Firasath Ali Baqri, a spokesperson of BJP Telangana, Dr Laxman handed over the Chader to him as part of offering. He said he would be offering the Chader on behalf of State BJP at Ajmer during the upcoming Urs.

Dr Laxman said Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Hasan Chishti's teachings of universal brotherhood and peaceful coexistence would continue to inspire and guide people of all faiths.

Baqri informed that the ceremonial cloth was inscribed with religious verses. Even today the saint's dargah, with its saintly white dome and golden crown, hosts millions of devotees who soak in the generosity of his blessings. It was this affection and love for all of humanity that earned Moinuddin Hasan Chishti the name Khwaja Garib Nawaz or Cherisher of the Poor

"Khwaja Moinuddin Hasan Chishti was born in Sijistan (modern-day Sistan located in South-East in Iran) in 1141-42 AD. After receiving Khilafat at the age of 52 from Sheikh Usman Harawani, he went on Hajj to Mecca and Medina. While he was praying in the Prophet's mosque in Medina, the Khwaja was said to have heard the Prophet telling him to go to Hindustan and to the city of Ajmer.

"At that time, he had no idea where Ajmer was. However, he proceeded via Baghdad and Herat to Lahore and thence to Delhi and Ajmer. Muizuddin Muhammad bin Sam of Ghor had already defeated Prithviraj Chauhan and established his rule in Delhi. Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti started living and preaching in Ajmer. His instructive discourses, full of spiritual insights, soon drew the local populace as well as kings and nobles and peasants and the poor from far and wide," Baqri added.

The BJP floor leader in the State Legislative Council and party's Greater Hyderabad president N Ramchander Rao, Mohd Afsar Pasha, Sardar Inderpal Singh, Mohd Waseem, Mir Hadi Ali, Abbas Raza Khan, Shamsuddin , Humayun Jaffery were also present.
