Very good move by S.M.Rashid haji,I hope & pray it long last. The
similar organizations are still in existance, i.e. Central committee
with different kind of services.The condition laid before the muslim public that those who become the member of DKMA only
get benefit is bit confusing.Hope that will be solved meaningfully.

Now the needy will get less donations and moreover surprised to note that there are no hanafi members and would like to know is this something to do like the Beary community as this should not be named DK muslim association as there are hanfai`s also in the district who have conrtibuted hugely towards the community.
