SHAMLI: Forty-two-year-old Wakil Malik from Shamli's Bhainswal village is all set to bring holy water from Haridwar on foot for the sixth time in his life during the kanwar yatra this year. "I took permission from the district authorities for the yatra as I could have faced opposition under the prevailing atmosphere," he told TOI on Thursday.
He added, "I am equally devoted to Islam and regularly attend jamats. However, my purpose behind bringing the kanwar is to prove that god is one and we are the ones who create differences."
