New Delhi - President Ashraf Ghani sends shawl on occasion of 809th Urs of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishty.

Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani on Tuesday sent a 'chadar' (shawl) for the Ajmer Sharif Dargah on the 809th Urs of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishty through the Afghan embassy in India.

President Ghani wrote in a letter to the Ajmer Sharif Dargah chairman, “It is a singular honour to offer the chadar and as an Afghan and as a student of Sufi order for over 50 years, I have been fascinated with the character, impact and reach of Khawaja Garib Nawaz. Despite a thousand years, there is much to study and learn from the way the Chishty order the spread from a district in Herat to becoming a moral force in the continent.”
