Jammu: Chairperson Waqf Development Committee of Union Ministry of Minority Affairs & National Executive Member of BJP Dr Darakhshan Andrabi today visited Markazi Jamia Masjid Complex at Talab Khattika in Jammu and reviewed the progress in the construction process undergoing there with the help of Waqf assistance. Dr Andrabi was accompanied by Chief Executive Officer of J&K Waqf Dr Jahangir, Administrator of the Jamia Masjid Mudasir Wani & Senior Journalist & Social Activist Suhail Kazmi. Dr Andrabi inspected the on-going development works and discussed the management of funds & future plans to develop the complex as a National Level Religious Tourism Centre in Jammu. CEO Dr Jahangir apprised her about the progress of work & the requirements to undertake the proposed projects. Speaking on the occasion Dr Darakhshan Andrabi thanked the administration for taking up the development project so nicely despite the shortage of funds. She assured that the Central Waqf Council will consider & approve the no-interest loan for developing the project as needed. She also assured that she will be taking up the development projects with the J&K Tourism Department for their development assistance so that this site is developed as a Mega Religious Tourism Centre in Jammu. Dr Darakhshan appealed to the Business community & the economically well off citizens also to come forward to donate for this noble cause. She instructed that the management of accounts of the Complex be made hundred percent digital so that transparency of funds utilization is assured. She also emphasized on the need to maintain the cleanliness of the whole area so that it becomes a place of attraction for all to visit. Speaking on the occasion Suhail Kazmi said that Dr Andrabi’s vision of developing this complex as a multi-dimensional Religious Center is praiseworthy and it was the responsibility of all the public to come forward and donate for the noble cause.
Replying the question about the arrest of the kingpin of the online campaign against the educated girls of J&K when the issue was raised by her with the Lt Governor, Dr Darakhshan Andrabi said that she was approached by many parents, teachers & girls who were feeling devastated by the campaign, and she was also shocked to learn about it and without any delay she requested the Honourable Lt Governor who instructed the police to act and Police acted swiftly to nab the kingpin from Anantnag yesterday. But the case is not solved as yet. All those who have been sharing the posts, making indecent, criminal comments need to be arrested and booked under the stringent laws. “For the past three decades, we have allowed this nonsense to exist and flourish in J&K, but now no such organized social subversion can be allowed anymore,” said Dr Darakhshan Andrabi. She said that the Cyber Cell of J&K Police is still not working as expected and I appeal to the Police authorities to take a call at the earliest to re-activate the Cyber Cell of J&K Police. “It is just one scandal under the scanner of law, there are many more such platforms which still propagate hate, propagate non-sense here and there on social media which hurts the very basic inclusive social structure, gender equality, communal harmony & national security and the law enforcing agencies need to take a call, sooner the better,” said Chairperson WDC.
