Unwarranted remarks

Sir, - This has reference to ``Killing with kindness, Jaswant style'' (July 18). Mr. Jaswant Singh's remarks on the cancellation of the visit to Ajmer by General Musharraf are unwarranted in one way. Let it be known to Mr. Jaswant Singh or whoever has spoken to him about the great Hazrat of Ajmer, that no human being, however great he may be, has been conferred the power of calling people to his grave. Any human being who practises religion sincerely will be endeared to the Almighty and will be rewarded with the exalted position in the life hereafter. The Holy Koran says: ``Verily, on the friends of Allah (those who practise Islam in true spirit) there is no fear nor shall they grieve'' (10:62). But in no way, they would be privileged to contact the people across the border. There is no possibility of any verbal contact, according to the Koran, between the dead and the alive.
