He said all spiritual personalities have encouraged Development and disdained ideology of destruction and hate. He said even if Mosque come as a blockade to the opening of Roads, spiritual saints have given importance to Roads. It was spiritual Highway 700 years before which was part of Kashmir civilization as both Hazrat Bulbushah RA, and Hazrat Amir Kabir RA arrived through this route and spiritually enriched Kashmir. He said that unfortunately our spiritual architect and memorable routs have been destroyed and erased. He hoped that the Ministry of Roads and Highways will play a vital role in the Development of Kashmir particularly the holy Sufi Shrines of Kashmir which are in the most dilapidated conditions. He said even the Historical Mullah Shah Mosque which has more rich value than the Babri Mosque which is located in Premises of Hazrat Mahboob Aalam Shrine is about to collapse because such precious structure of Shah Jahan built-in The name of Mulla Shah Aalam has been completely ignored. This is a tragic phase of administrative callousness of the last seven decades that such places of high architecture value and roads leading to them have been ignored(KNS)
