Dawoodi Bohras greet Modi on occasion of New Samvat Year

By TCN Special Correspondent,

Ahmedabad: After Muslims voted the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidates in the recent district panchayat and local bodies elections in Gujarat, members of Dawoodi Bohra Muslim community on Tuesday visited Chief Minister Narendra Modi to wish him on the occasion of the New Hindu Vikram Samvat year.

The delegation comprising 170 people including 25 women in their traditional dresses had representatives of the Bohra community who had come from all over the state.






Dawoodi Bohras greeting Narendra Modi

Prominent among those greeting Modi included Bohra spiritual leader Dr. Syedna Burhanuddin’s special representative Sheikh Aun Ali from Burhanpur in Madhya Pradesh.

When contacted, Ali said that though Syedna was currently on a foreign trip, he had asked him to call on Modi personally and extend him the new year greetings after Diwali. Ali said that Syedna had wished Modi for the development and prosperity of Gujarat.

Stating that largest population of Dawoodi Bohras lived in Gujarat and scattered in rural and urban centres of the state and mainly engaged in business and trade, he said that a number of developmental works were required to be undertaken by Syedna for the benefit of the community.

“And Narendra Modi has extended his full cooperation to the community in developmental work of the community’’, he claimed, adding that it was because of this reason that Syedna had sent him to the chief minister to greet him on the occasion of the beginning of the new Samvat year.

“We are totally apolitical and Syedna has given the message of communal harmony and peace to the people of Gujarat through the chief minister’’, said Ali.

He said that when Syedna had visited the state two years ago, Modi had spared time and visited the spiritual leader.

Two years ago, Modi had appointed Sajjad Hira, a Dawoodi Bohra, as president of the state BJP (Minority Morhcha). Hira was also among those who greeted Modi with Ali.

State’s director general of police (DGP) S S Khandwawala is also a Dawoodi Bohra.

Bohras are spread all over the state including interior villages and are engaged in trade. They were also badly affected in 2002 statewide anti-Muslim riots, with their shops and houses having been looted and set afire.

However, Syedna managed to send them all back to their original places by extending monetary assistance and constructing new houses for them.

Wearing clothes - very much

Wearing clothes - very much like muslims, - does not mean that they are Muslims. The blood running in their vains might be of non-muslims. If modi orders, they will change their faith for the purpose of trade ????? and the greatest joke is that, they think themselves to be very upper cast muslims,,,, and use to laugh at other muslims and hate them ....!!!!!

Well it is truly a cult, but

Well it is truly a cult, but the thing is they are becoming more and more powerful stealing monies in the name of religion. Shame on them the only cult where money is so important. Anything one has to do they demand big chunks of monies. These people dont leave u even when u r dead.
Dont know when will these thuggers will be punished in the court of God (Almighty Allknowing)

Dont call him syedna. He is

Dont call him syedna. He is just Mohammad (his name). He is not even Burhanuddin (person of high calibre and status). Syedna is high post in islam and the one who is syedna, do not live in Malabar hills and Nepensea Road(may be the spell is not correct). His living is simple and thinking is very high. this guy is just a business man. God will deal with him on the day of Judgement

Long Live Aqa Moula Syedna

Long Live Aqa Moula Syedna Mohammad Burhanuddin Saheb (T.U.S.).
Masallah Moula's 100th Birthday will be celebtrated very soon after around 90 days Inshallah. Shukr of Allah(S.W.T.) for granting Syedna a Long Life with health, wealth and prosperity.

secular hindus are shame on the hindu society

Going by the logic of indian muslim, those hindus who talk secularism and protection to minority which had destroyed tonns of temples all over the country are shame to hindu society and the indian muslim is just creating a valid justificaiton for radical hindus like rss.

Syedna Meeting the Butcher - However, Nothing Wrong by Sayyedna

Salaam Alaykum Wa RAhmatullah Wa Barakato

Even Imam Ali A.S. had to make "peace" with the devil Muawiya (God's eternal curse on him). So, sometimes, it really helps to smoothen things over with morons like Modi, since his greed for power will eventually consume him. This loser of a human being still has the power to cause even more harm. So, would you rather have more bloodshed? Or would you rather just make things work with imbeclines and illiterates like Modi and his primitive gang?
So, Sayyedna Saheb also sacrificed himself too trying to save thousands of innocent Muslims.

Hope you are understanding. However this is my personal view and others may disagree.

Wassalaam

Who are they?

Who are these Bhoras? Can any one tell what they believe?

Bohraism is a cult who

Bohraism is a cult who believes in Dai. who they called syedna and do sajda and call themselves abdes and amtes and not slaves of Allah. they do sajda to dai and if anyone goes against the tyrant are expelled from the community and they do not get buried in bohra graveyard, cannot talk to even his near and dear etc.

These are....

As I know this community is known as LOC (line of control) people.

Anytime Hindus OR non-Muslims ask: WHO ARE YOU?
They, say: we are non-Muslims.

And when a Muslim asks the same person / same question, his/her response will be: We are Muslims.

That's the reason, I call this community LOC people.

An Observer.

Shame on Syedna

It is really shameful to see Syedna of Bohra community stoop so low and actually meeting and greeting Modi who was responsible for Muslim Genocide in Gujarat. He should be made aware of that the member of parliament Ahsan Jafri sacrificed his life trying to save hundreds of innocent Muslim lives in Ahmedabad was a Bohra. He was a brave man. Syedna's ancestor's sacrificed there lives for truth without fear but Syedna is so fearful of this hate mongers that he is ready to meet and bow to them. Shame on you Syedna.
