Saharanpur,

16 July (HS): A wonderful example of 'Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb' (Hindu-Muslim

bonhomie) was observed in Saharanpur when Kairana MP Iqra Hasan personally

served food to pilgrims at three Kanwar service camps, conveying the message of

love and religious tolerance. Iqra Hasan of the Samajwadi Party visited three

Kanwar Yatra pilgrim sites in Saharanpur: Shiv Seva Kanwar Sangh, Shri Kailash

Dham Shiv Kanwar Seva, and Shri Shiv Om Samiti Kanwar Seva. After personally

distributing food to each of these camps, the Muslim lady MP expressed her

delight in being able to feed Shiva worshipers. Hasan expressed her joy at

being a part of the event and stated that what she observed was more than

simply a religious gesture, but a mirror of mankind, showing India's genuine

power.

She

emphasized that this is more than simply a country; it is a land of values and

cultures.

She

applauded the selfless contribution of men and women from many social groups

who volunteered at camps, and described the project as a symbol of not just

religious dedication but also of communal solidarity. She stated that the type

of service provided here without prejudice is something that modern politicians

should emulate.

Kanwar

camps greeted Iqra Hasan with customary chunari (scarf) and pagdi (turban) as a

gesture of respect. MP commended the

organisers for their efforts in conducting camps.

Kanwar

Yatra is an annual pilgrimage carried out by Lord Shiva followers on foot

during the auspicious month of Shravan in the Hindu calendar. They collect water from the Ganges and

present it to Lord Shiva at their shrines.
