Maha: Minister Mushrif, SP leader Azmi spar over Wari

Kolhapur, June 23 (UNI) Maharashtra Minister Hasan Mushrif on Monday strongly objected to Samajwadi Party leader Abu Azmi's statement on ongoing "Wari and Warkari Sampradaya", saying that he will explain importance of annual 'Wari (journey) and Warkari Sampradaya' (sect) to him when they would meet.
Azmi had reportedly said that when the roads get blocked due to Wari, Muslims do not complain but when Muslims do 'namaaz' on road, complaints are made about that.
Talking to reports here over the issue, he said, "Wari takes place once in a year while 'namaaz' is held five times in a day, which should be offered in a place where it does not disturb public. Lakhs of Warkaris participate in the Wari. The government has also prepared a special way for it."
