Khalida Begum G mother of Sh Farooq Khan H’Advisor to H’LG of Jammu And Kashmir,who had planned the holy Haj pilgrimage this year on her own expenses has cancelled the same and has donated Rs.5.0 lac to Sewa Bharti Jammu.”
Khalida Begum has donated her Hajj saving money to a welfare organization named ‘Sewa Bharati’ which is linked with RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh) which is a far-right organization. The RSS has been working to strip the rights of Kashmiri people (Specifically Muslims) at large scale.
