Discussed Kashmir situation with Sri Sri: Burhan Wani's father

August 28, 2016

Srinagar, Aug 28: The father of slain Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani, who met the Art of Living founder Sri Sri Ravi Shankar at the latter's ashram in Bengaluru, discussed the situation in the Valley with the spiritual guru.sri-sri

"I met Sri Sri Ravi Shankar during a personal visit to Bengaluru last week. Since Sri Sri is a man of peace, I apprised him about the ground situation," Muzaffar Wani told PTI over phone from his residence in south Kashmir's Tral town.

The killing of Wani's son Burhan sparked off violence in Kashmir that has left 68 persons dead and thousands others injured as the unrest entered its 51st day today.

Wani said he also asked Sri Sri to use his influence in finding a solution to Kashmir problem.

"Sri Sri asked me what the people of Kashmir wanted. I asked him to visit the Valley to find out for himself," he said.

Wani, a teacher by profession, said there should be an unconditional dialogue with the separatists to find a lasting solution to Kashmir problem.

"Hurriyat is the leadership of Kashmir and there should be an unconditional dialogue ... the precondition of 'within the ambit of Indian Constitution' will not lead to a solution," he added.

Burhan's father had gone to Bengaluru on Thursday for "treatment" of a health-related issue and returned home yesterday.

A photograph of Wani with the Sri Sri, posted by the latter on Twitter, has gone viral on social networking sites.

Wani said he had gone to Bengaluru to get treatment for his diabetes problem at the Sri Sri Ayurvedic hospital. "I did not stay in a hotel as i did not find it safe. I stayed at the Ashram (of Sri Sri)," he said.

"Muzaffar Wani, the father of Burhan Wani was in the ashram for the last 2 days. We discussed several issues," Ravi Shankar had tweeted, without elaborating. The tweet was accompanied by a picture of the two together.

His elder son, Khalid, was also killed by security forces during an anti-militancy operation in the forests of Tral in April last year.

New Delhi, July 20: India's retail trade has suffered a business loss of about Rs 15.5 lakh crore in past 100 days due to the COVID-19 lockdown, traders' body CAIT said on Sunday. 

In a statement, the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) said traders across the country are depressed because of minimal of the consumers, considerable absence of employees, facing financial crunch and yet have to meet several financial obligations.

"No support policy from the central or state governments is yet another crucial factor which is haunting the traders," CAIT claimed. 

CAIT Secretary General Praveen Khandelwal said the domestic trade is passing through its worst period in the current century which reflects that if immediate steps are not taken about 20 per cent of the shops in India will have to close down their shutters.

The traders’ body has also urged the government to award a substantial package to traders to ensure their survival. Their demands include: Relaxation in payment of taxes, extension in repayment of bank loans and EMIs without any further interest or penalty as well as measures that would provide money directly in the hands of the traders.

In April, the losses stood at about Rs. 5 lakh crore whereas in May it was estimated to be about Rs. 4.5 lakh crore, followed by Rs. 4 lakh crore in June. Losses stood at about 2.5 lakh crore in the first fortnight of July offering a grim snapshot of the effect of the pandemic on consumer spending. 

“Even as the lockdown was relaxed, store footfall was only 10 per cent. Most of these traders do not have deep pockets to sustain this severe economic catastrophe and on the other hand have several financial obligations to meet. At this crucial time, handholding of these traders is all the more much required,” Khandelwal said.
