HYDERABAD: The construction work on the shrine of Masooma-e-Sindh, Syeda Khadija Maham (SA) bint Imam Musa Kazim (A.S.), which was initiated by the Government of Sindh after releasing special funds, has been complete ly halted for the past several months due to deliberate delaying tactics allegedly employed by certain officials of the Sindh Auqaf Department.
As a result, pilgrims visiting the sacred shrine from across the country are experiencing serious concern and anxiety. The Government of Sindh and other relevant authorities must take immediate and serious notice of the situation, not only to resume the stalled construction work but also to ensure the swift completion of the project through practical measures.
These views were expressed by renowned religious scholar Allama Ayaz Ali Qumi while speaking to media representatives after visiting the shrine of Masooma-e-Sindh and inspecting the construction project that has remained suspended for months.
He stated that widespread corruption in shrine donations and various funds within the Auqaf Department is no secret, and now certain officials are allegedly employing delaying tactics in government-funded projects as well, with the apparent aim of increasing their commissions.
Allama Qumi advised the office-bearers of the Zaireen Khidmat Committee, Agham Kot, to adopt the path of public protest against these tactics. He added that pilgrims visiting from across the country, particularly mourners from all over Sindh, would extend their full support to such a protest.
He further appealed to the Government of Sindh to take immediate and serious action in this matter to ensure transparency and timely completion of the sacred project.
