The Khadim community of India’s one of the most revered shrines in Ajmer stood united against Dargah Dewan Zainul Abedin Ali Khan, the hereditary Sajjada Nashin of Khawaja Moinuddin Hasan Chishty and also sought action against him.
Mr Khan voiced his views against the visiting filmstars and producers for the promotion of their films and TV serials.
“He has no right to ask this, rather we sent a memorandum to minority affairs minister Salman Khurshid to take action against Mr Khan,” said former secretary of the Anjuman Syed Sarwar Chishty. The Khadims had a meeting on Monday and criticised Mr Khan, saying he was doing all this to garner publicity.
“He has no authority to issue such a diktat. The Dargah Act of 1955 has defined well the role of everyone. We could not understand on what basis Mr Khan is raising this issue,” asks Mr Chishty. “Since Mr Khan works under the Dargah Act and the minority affairs ministry deals with it, so we sent memorandum to Mr Khurshid as well,” Mr Chishty said.
Addressing a press conference in Ajmer on Monday, president of the Anjuman, Hissamuddin Chishty lashed out at the Dargah Dewan and questioned his intention and authority.

China machinery cause ‘power’ crisis in haryana
Age Correspondent
Chandigarh, July 23
With an erratic Monsoon in 2012 increasing the demand for power in the Haryana, especially the agricultural sector. And the breakdown of three power plants has brought into the focus the poor quality power machinery imported from China. The political parties are blaming inferior quality Chinese machinery for repeated technical snags.
The prolonged summer and deficient rain has made power an important issue in the state. Realising that the issue of power touches all sections of society both the ruling Congress and the Opposition Indian National Lok Dal are blaming each other for the sub-standard Chinese equipment in the power plants of the state. In Haryana, power plants with installed generation capacity of around 20,000 MW have equipment made in China.
Both the parties are holding each other responsible for purchase of these machines and allege corruption in the deals for the same. As the three thermal power plants at Yamunanagar, Jharli (Jhajjar) and Khedar (Hisar) were shut down, the INLD leaders have been pointing fingers at the Hooda government.
