LAHORE, June 13: A family from Uch Sharif, living in a camp along a road here, has been running from pillar to post for justice for the last 11 months or so despite apprising Supreme Court Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry, Lahore High Court Chief Justice Khwaja Muhammad Sharif and Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif of its ordeal.
Stepbrothers refused to give Rajab Hussain Kalhora his due share in moveable and immovable property of their father Ashiq Hussain in the first week of May last year. He lodged a complaint with area police, but his stepbrothers Zahid, Shahid and Nasir and their six accomplices subjected him and his wife to torture and forced them to leave Hataiji city of Ahmadpur tehsil along with their four children.
Rajab came to Lahore along with his family and set up a camp on a footpath near the Lahore Press Club in mid-May last year. “I had a meeting with Justice Chaudhry who, during his visit to Lahore, referred my case to the Lahore High Court chief justice. I explained my case to Justice Sharif and he promised me justice.
“Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif during his Bahawalpur visit on July 22 last year directed the district police officer to redress my grievances within three days. I again met Shahbaz Sharif in Lahore on Feb 8 this year in Lahore and he promised to get me my legal right.
“My father owned 14 shops and two department stores worth of Rs30 million, fertiliser and pesticides business worth of Rs250 million, 12 plots worth of Rs30 million, a bungalow worth of Rs8 million, Rs6.3 million in bank and National Savings accounts and 100 acres of agriculture land at Yazman, Ahmadpur Sharqia and Uch Sharif, but I am on the road, bringing food from the shrine of Bibian Pak Daman three times a day and meeting other needs with the alms passers-by give to my children,” says Rajab, who attempted suicide some time ago along with his family, but was rescued by some God-fearing people. |

| US Ambassador visits Uch Sharif to mark completion of Shrine conservation |  |  |  |
UCH SHARIF, May 22 (APP) American Ambassador Anne W. Patterson Friday highlighting the value of preserving Pakistan’s “irreplaceable global heritage” said important places should be preserved at all cost. She was expressing her views during a visit to the shrine of Hazrat Jalaluddin Bukhari marking the completion of a US‑funded conservation project. Ambassador Patterson said, “It is impossible to stand here and not be awed by the grandeur around me and the spirit of mysticism that envelops the area.” She was greeted by Secretary Auqaf and Religious Affairs Qazi Afaaq and other officials when she arrived at the shrine. The US provided $50,000 grant initiated in October 2007 under the Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation, supported major repair work of the shrine including the replacement of all decayed wooden columns, beams and tile flooring. “The exceptional architecture of this 15th century shrine needs to be conserved, not only for the thousands of devotees who visit every year at the time of the Urs, but for future generations,” the Ambassador said. Dignitaries and members of the Bahawalpur district administration were also present on the occasion. A small town located 75 kilometers from Bahawalpur in the Punjab, Uch commands great reverence as a city of renowned Sufi saints. The domed brick‑built shrine is decorated with glazed blue tiles in floral and geometric designs. The structure, including four other similar monuments forming a compound, is included on UNESCO’s World Heritage list. In addition to Uch Sharif, the U.S. embassy has also funded the conservation of several projects in Pakistan including Sirkap Site and Jinnan Wali Dehri in Taxila; Masjid Mahabat Khan and Gor Khuttree, Peshawar; Maan Singh Haveli, Rohtas Fort; Alamgiri Gate, and the bazaar of the Wazir Khan Mosque in Lahore. The US Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation, established by Congress in 2001, provides direct grant support to cultural heritage projects around the world. So the Fund has supported more than 500 projects worldwide, totaling more than $13.4 million.

21st century school in 16th century shrine |

Sunday, May 03, 2009 By Khalid Khattak HE state of a primary school in Uch Sharif in Bahawalpur district exposes government’s claim that Southern Punjab is a priority for it as the school is without a building and is housed in a dilapidated 16th century tomb.
The Government Arabic Primary School, Uch Sharif, Ahmedpur Sharqia tehsil, despite catering for over 250 students is housed in the tomb of Hazrat Musa Pak Shaheed. The rapidly deteriorating condition of the tomb has now compelled the administration to hold classes in courtyard of a nearby mosque or other adjacent open space near the ‘school’.
During a visit to Uch Sharif, this correspondent observed that classes were being held in courtyard of the mosque. Students, however, seemed fairly content despite unfavourable conditions. One can imagine what a change a permanent building and comfortable learning environment could bring into the lives of these young learners.
The innocent students mostly, clad in ‘khaki’ uniform and some even clad in colourful clothes were seen sitting on the bare floor in scorching heat. It is not hard to imagine what these youngsters must go through in winter.
A comparison of the Government Arabic Primary School, Uch Sharif, with any public-sector school of a big city exposes the plight of students in far flung areas.
According to one of the teachers, Syed Shamsuddin, the school had been functioning in the tomb of Hazrat Musa Pak Shaheed since July 19, 1947. Talking to The News, he said the school had 280 registered students, including 40 female students, while the total number of teachers was three.
To a question, he said students were suffering as school had to be shifted from one place to another due to the unavailability of a proper building. He said classes were not being held in tomb these days as it was in a dilapidated condition.
He said students had to study in a nearby open-space when people at the mosque did not allow holding of classes. “Some people think that noisy students in dirty clothes can violate the sanctity of the mosque”, he said. He said owing to extreme poverty, school teachers could not compel parents to send their children to school in uniform. He said the school had to be closed whenever it rained. He said more than three kanals of land owned by the Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) was available near the ‘school’ and the government should ask board officials to give land to the school.

Uch Sharif: The mela (Folk Festival) is held in March/April. This year, mela started from 6th April, 2009 which is week long celebration and will continue till April 12, 2009. A large number of people from Southern Punjab come to the historic town Uch Sharif to pay homage to the great sufi saints of Uch Sharif. The mela is held to mark the historic congregation of sufi saints i.e. Hazrat Jalal ud Din Surkhposh Bukhari, Hazrat Farid ud Din Ganj Shakar, Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar and Hazrat Baha-ud-Din Zakrai Multani R.A, which was observed in 600 A.D, on the invitation of Hazrat Jalal ud Din Surkhposh Bukhari R.A.
It is the old tradition of the centuries that people visit the shirne of Hazrat Jalal ud Din Surkhposh Bukhari and Hazrat Mehboob Subhani and other saints of Uch Sharif. Majority of the pilgrims and devotees of sufi saints spend all the day at the shirines and offer Friday Prayer at the historical Mosques.
The participants, town people, visitors, devotees make folk dances, enjoy themselves Circus & traditional sports and play differnt traditional games.
Traditional bazaars are set up, makeshift zoo, Death Well, Death Ring, Lucky Irani Circus, China Circus, Professor Shows, Magic Shows, Wait Lifting, tarzen swings for young children which increase joys of the people.
In the older days, when the communication means were very poor, people used to stayed in town for more than a week to enjoy the mela but with the advent in transportation and communication means, the environment of the entire Folk Festival has changed. Now visitors return to their houses a night.
Govt.of the Punjab was not willing to conduct the mela this year becuase of the security risks and prevalent terrorism wave which is heading towards the Southern Punjab. But latter on, Govt of Punjab allowed special permission to conduct the same by doing strict security measures. Inhabitants of the town are thankful to the Chief Minister for allowing special permission and providing additional security for taking personal interest in conducting recreational mela .

Floor brokers said that growing concern about economic instability and worldwide and domestic crises depressed sentiment where activity remained restricted to a small buying lot. The following transaction materialised on ready counter on Tuesday: 2,000 bales from Uch Sharif done at Rs2,850
