(MENAFN- Kashmir Observer)
Srinagar- Agha Dr Syed Mehdi Alizada Mousavi, a special representative of Iran's leader Ayatollah Khamenei, who is in Kashmir Tuesday offered Zuhr prayer at the historic Jamia Masjid Srinagar.
The officials and staff of Anjuman Auqaf Jama Masjid accorded him a warm welcome on his arrival. On the occasion, Dr Syed Mehdi hailed the unique architecture of the Jama Masjid and the beauty of this great place of worship, a statement issued said.
However, he, according to the statement, expressed regret that the Anjuman head Mirwaiz Umar Farooq remains under detention for the past nearly four years, due to which the pulpit and minaret of the historical place of worship is silent. He also regretted not being able to meet and exchange ideas with Mirwaiz, the statement added.
On the occasion, Dr Syed Mehdi was presented with the history of Anjuman Auqaf and other scholarly gifts as well as a Kashmiri shawl on behalf of Mirwaiz.
Earlier, he also visited the historic educational institution Anjuman NusratIslam and the institutes running under it including the Islamia Oriental College, Anjuman's library, historic building and auditorium of Islamia High School. He got acquainted with the history of one of the oldest educational institutions in Kashmir.
While talking to the officials of the Anjuman, Dr Syed Mehdi assured all possible support for the teaching of the Persian language in the Islamia Oriental College so that the understanding of this important language can be promoted far and wide.
The head of Peerwaan-e-Wilaayat Agha Syed Sabat Shabir Qumi was also present during Dr Syed Mehdi's visit, the statement added.
