NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will handover ceremonial 'Chadar' to Union minister Kiren Rijiju and BJP minority morcha president Jamal Siddiqui which will be offered at the Ajmer Sharif Dargah on the occasion of the Urs of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti.
Since assuming office, PM Modi has offered' Chadar' to Ajmer Sharif Dargah every year. This will be the 11th time he will be participating in the tradition.
Last year, during the 812th Urs, the 'Chadar' was presented to the shrine by then Union minister Smriti Irani and Jamal Siddiqui, along with a delegation representing the Muslim community, on behalf of the Prime Minister.
According to the BJP Minority Morcha's media in-charge, the 'Chadar' will be handed over by Kiren Rijiju and Jamal Siddiqui before being presented at the dargah. The program and related arrangements will proceed thereafter.
The tradition of the Prime Minister's chadar being offered at the Dargah Sharif is observed annually during the Urs of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti. The Union Minister for Minority Affairs customarily represents the Prime Minister during this significant occasion.
Rijiju is scheduled to arrive at Jaipur airport at 7:15 a.m. on Saturday and will travel to Ajmer by road. The chadar offering ceremony will take place at 11 a.m. at the Ajmer Sharif Dargah.
The Ajmer Sharif Dargah is one of the most revered Sufi shrines in India. Every year, millions of devotees from all over the world gather here to celebrate the Urs festival, a significant event that commemorates the death anniversary of the Khwaja Moinuddin Hassan Chishti.
