The Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Manoj Sinha, went to the holy shrine of Hazratbal in Srinagar on Tuesday and called for a return of “shrine tourism” in Kashmir. He said that Eid-ul-Adha is a time for peace and getting along with others.
He went over the plans and facilities at the site that holds the holy treasure of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and said that top officials from the government are there today and that everything is ready for the upcoming Eid-ul-Adha holiday.
The LG said that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said that if the heart isn’t clean, the body isn’t clean either. He said this by quoting a Hadith. “If the heart is clean, the entire body is clean,” he said.
The LG said that just like people come from all over India for the Amarnath Yatra, people can also come to the Valley to see sacred sites like Hazratbal, Charar-e-Sharief, and dozens of others.
“Shrine tourism can be brought back to life so that people from all over the country will visit. I’m willing to hear what people, the Waqf Board, and anyone else have to say about this. “You can come to me, or I can come to you,” he said.
He said that Eid-ul-Adha is a holiday that celebrates peace and unity. At the shrine, the LG begged for peace and wealth in J-K.
