Srinagar, Jun 24: Shia cleric Masroor Abbas Ansari on Wednesday described the 8th Muharram procession in Srinagar as a "message of humanity" and thanked the administration for allowing it after 35 years, while expressing hope for permission for the Ashura rally. "The 8th Muharram procession, which begins from Abhigudar and ends at Dal Gate, is the biggest congregation in the city and holds historical significance," Ansari told KNS.  The cleric said the rally had been banned for over three decades.
