A community hall will be constructed on the premises of Sheikh-Sha-Wali Tatayya darga at the cost of Rs 10 lakh, said Union Minister for Corporate Affairs Veerappa Moily.|
Speaking after participating at the 48th Sheikh-Sha-Wali Tatayya Urs organised by the Hindu-Muslim Integration Committee in the City recently, the minister said: “Benefits of Central and State welfare schemes should reach minority communities. A nation can progress when people live in communal harmony.”
Contribution of Sheikh-Sha-Wali Tatayya towards strengthening of religion is laudable, he added. Also speaking on the occasion, industrialist M Narayanswamy said teachings of saints and sufis should guide people in the present scenario.
Ettinahole project that promises permanent irrigation to drought-hit districts is used to hoodwink people, he said.
Moreover, people’s representatives should visit rural areas and listen to woes of villagers, he added.
