Lucknow: Living upto the ganga jamuni tehzeeb in the city of nawabs, the Hussain Day Celebration and Welfare Society organised a bhandara and drinking water stall outside Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) office on Tuesday.

The stall was inagurated by eminent shia cleric Maulana Yasoob Abbas and Maulana Ainul Haque in presence of Additional Municipal Commisioner (AMC) Pratap Singh Bhadauria and other officials.
Speaking on the occasion, general secretary of the association Syed Qaiser Raza stated that Lucknow has a history of hindu-muslim brotherhood and our step is a small effort for maintaning the communal harmony. President of the society, Ananad Verma also was instrumental in organising the stall along with other volunteers of the society.
Shia cleric Maulana Yasoob Abbas who also is the spokesperson for All India Shia Personal Law Board (AISPLB) appreciated the efforts of the society for maintaining the chord of communal harmony in Lucknow. "The role played by the members of the society in organising such stall will help in strengthening hindu muslim unity", he said.
Later Raza stated that such efforts were done in the past also. As per him Lucknow still has Hanuman Mandir which was built by Janabe Aliya, the mother of Nawab Saadat Ali Khan in Aliganj. The temple's dome still has a moon depicting 'dooj ka chand'. "Even Nawab Wajid Ali Shah organised lavish bhandaras and monkeys too were offered grams by the royal begums" he claimed.

If NOT water - then WHAT ?
To display UNDERSTANDING and CO-ORDINATION between TWO COMMUNITIES, if not WATER - then WHAT?
Just imagine, what is life of a human WITHOUT WATER !
Imagine when you open your home tap - there is no water.
Imagine when you go to restaurant - they don't offer any WATER.
Imagine you start cooking at home, and realize - there is NO WATER.
Imagine you just finished DINNER at a Party - there is NO WATER.
Imagine someone is desperate for want of WATER - and there is NONE.

GOOD WORK BY ALL INDIA SHIA
GOOD WORK BY ALL INDIA SHIA PERSONAL LAW BORD. UNFORTUNATELY UPA GOVT. IS SUPRESSING SHIAS UNDER THE FORCE OF SUNNI LOBBY. ITS VOTE AGAINST IRAN IN ATOMIC ENERGY COUNCIL AND STRONG SUPPORT FOR INDO-US NUCLEAR BILL BY SUNNI MP'S LIKE ASADUDDIN OWAISI CLEARLY INDICATE THIS.
all india shia
Shame on this so-called Cleric who does not even correctly recite even one aayat of Quran Majeed. This man is so hungry for cheap ublicity that he even published his photograph washing the dirty feet of BJP MP Shri Lalji Tandon and then drinking that water.
He can do a photo-shoot on te occasion of Bara Mangal but will never think of setting up a Sabeel on the auspicious occasion of Bara Wafaat(eid e Milaad).
The corresspondent of this news item should check his facts before giving space to insignificant news concerning less-than-ordinary-persons.
Muslim Set Up Water Stall at bara Mangal
The action appears to be good but everyone must know that All India Shia Personal Law Board is a product of BJP which has been set up by some illiterate individuals to create Shia-Sunni discord and to challenge the All India Muslim Personal Law Board.I am sure there must be a sinsiter motive behind this noble-looking-action or simply to gain cheap publicity.
Also please note that Yasoob Abbas is not a Cleric but tries to give half-cooked speaches to create Shia -Sunni tension.
Mark of UNDERSTANDING
Some readers maybe unaware - drinking-water is the "only thing", which even a child i.e. son, daughter can COMMAND from their parents.
Cause: It gives a chance for parents to gain REWARD from Maker of this World.
So, giving / offering water to a stranger increases reward. I believe the stall was set-up at Lucknow - NOT for SHOW PUTUP (as misunderstood) - BUT as a SIGN or MARK of UNDERSTANDING between the TWO COMMUNITIES.
An Indian
what a programme
giving water to any body is reawardfull in allah, for what this much publicity?????
