Lucknow: The Anjuman-e-Haidery, headquartered at the Dargah
Shah-e-Mardan in Jorbagh, Delhi, and which claims to be managing “the
largest number of Shia Waqf properties in Delhi,” has floated a tender
to fly a lakh volunteers to war-torn Iraq and its adjacent countries to
protect Shia shrines from Sunni insurgents.
The tender, floated Friday, invites Expression of Interest from aviation and travel business entities “having capacity to carry passengers in bulk at a short notice.”
From India, the destinations could be Iraq, Syria and/or Turkey and the company should have a capacity to carry 1 lakh passengers from August 1 to November 10 this year, states the tender.
“As the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has threatened to demolish the shrines, our volunteers would stand guard outside them,” says Syed Bahadur Abbas Naqvi, group’s general secretary.
