HYDERABAD: The Azadar Rabita Committee Hyderabad has strongly condemned the alleged desecration of a historic Alam Pak in Patasha Gali, Hyderabad, and demanded immediate legal action against those responsible for turning the sacred site into a garbage dumping point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement, the committee’s patron Zawwar Abdul Sattar Dars, Chief Organiser Ali Gohar Chandio, City Organiser Jam Shamshad Ali Jokhio, Advisory Council member Zahid Sharif Sheikh and others said that disrespecting the religious sanctities of any sect or faith was not only deeply hurtful to followers but could also constitute a serious offence under the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They called upon the authorities to take immediate and strict legal action against anyone found involved in deliberately desecrating religiously sacred places or attempting to create sectarian or religious tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The committee leaders said that the Alam Pak at Khambhatian Jo Par, Faqir Ka Par, Patasha Gali, is among the oldest religious sites associated with mourning traditions in Hyderabad. They said its organisers had been compelled to migrate from the area during ethnic disturbances in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite their relocation, they added, the organisers continue to return during the annual mourning period to clean and decorate the sacred site and organise the traditional annual Sej Mubarak mourning procession from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The statement alleged that after the mourning period concludes, certain individuals in the locality repeatedly dump garbage at the site, turning the sacred place into a waste point. The committee described the practice as highly provocative and said such acts could disturb religious harmony and create unnecessary tension among communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Azadar Rabita Committee urged the Mayor of Hyderabad and the concerned Union Council chairman to immediately arrange proper cleaning of the site and ensure that its sanctity is maintained in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The committee also appealed to the Inspector General of Police Sindh, DIG Hyderabad, SSP Hyderabad and other law-enforcement authorities to investigate the matter and take strict action, in accordance with the law, against anyone found responsible for deliberately disrespecting the sacred site or attempting to incite religious tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The leaders stressed that respect for the religious beliefs and sacred symbols of all communities was essential for maintaining peace, tolerance and harmony in society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
