Again a Majestic Project by 98 year Sayedna Saheb

The one and only free public forum for Bohras. The focus of this forum is the reform movement, the Dawoodi Bohra faith and, of course, the corrupt priesthood. But the discussion is in no way restricted to the Bohras alone.

Saifee Burhani Development Trust to take a Majestic Project of Twenty Two Thousand Crores of building 24 high-rise Towers after demolishing 270 buildings around Razat-Tahera in Bhindi Bazar, Mumbai

A most unique project of the country presented by Saifee Burhani Development Trust, Muslims of the area have raised objection on certain conditions of the project
Report in Urdu Times Daily, Mumbai on 30th May 2009

Mumbai: 29th May (UIN): Bhindi Bazar is a Muslim majority area in south Mumbai. The Saifee Burhani Development Trust has presented a project to develop and beautify this area and provide 350 sq. ft. flats to the residents. But the Muslim residents had some objections about this project. There was an apprehension that the whole area will be over taken by Bohras and also that the project will affect the business activities and business establishments in the area. To clarify these doubts and to satisfy the residents of Pakmodia Street, Dhabbu Street, Saifee Jubilee Street that is all area from Nul Bazar to Bhindi Bazar to J.J. Hospital corner to Two Tanks on Shaukat Ali Road, a meeting was organized at Diamond Hall in Najam Baugh to show and discuss the project and satisfy the queries so that the project can be started. Since the residents were still not satisfied and raised pertinent objections it was decided to form a committee which will go the office of Saifee Burhani Development Trust and get the details. Meeting was over after unanimous decision on forming such committee.
This meeting was presided by Shahzada Quid Johar bhai and Shahzada Abbas bhai Fakhruddin. The meeting started with recitation of Qur’an and Na’at by Mulla Yusuf bhai Latif. Shahzada Quid Johar bhai explaining the aims and objects of the project said “Today this august gathering is organized with a purpose that Allah has provided houses for human being to stay in with respect and honor. When the holy Prophet (s.a.) reached Medina Tayeba, first he constructed a mosque and then houses for Mumineen around that mosque. Islam gives preference to construct houses around mosques. 99 years back Sayedna Taher Saifuddin Saheb had built the grand Saifee Masjid for Bohras and Dr. Sayedna Burhanuddin Saheb has dedicated his entire life for welfare and betterment of Muslims.
Shahzada Quid Johar further said that it is a cherish desire of my 98 years old father to under take a unique project where the old and unsystematic buildings around Saifee Masjid and RozaiTahera will be demolished and wide roads, gardens and spacious houses be built so that the residents can have a standard respectable life. He said that this area has seven mosques and a Zainabia Imambada. Muslims of various faiths are living here with full freedom. There are 270 buildings, more than four thousand houses, more than two thousand shops and office and a population of 25 thousand in this area which needs to widen. Sayedna Saheb wants that the flag of Islam should fly over this area and this project will be shining example of unity of Muslims in the country.

sehat and quwwat to fool the world just like his father did fooling the president of india and other dignitaries with building the world's best technical institute, and celebrating 'victory' after losing the chandabhai galla case, and his son did fooling so many sheikhs, rulers and islamic govts. with the institute of islamic and arabic studies, both in bombay....

sehat and quwwat to go on lavish expeditions and hunt wild animals for sport and pleasure, and to collect gold from the community for making zarih of ma fatema..

sehat and quwwat to assault helpless bohra women of udaipur and to attack our own bohras inside their masjids...

sehat and quwwat to run for his life after uttering laanats on those who dare oppose him and on the 3 khalifas...

sehat and quwwat for betterment of his poor family and improvement of his palaces at large..

now that AQMZ has done so much dua for sehat and quwwat, syedna's life is guaranteed atleast uptil 199 years... :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

the blood the syedna receives is it phook marelu and paak? in case he is taking blood of napaak non-mumins, then it means his blood is impure and hidden imam will get mixed signals. how can hidden imam communicate with a syedna who appears to be in pure white drapes, but inside him is the blood of teutonic hounds, maybe from the lineage of hitler? :shock:

and how can we accept phook of contaminated syedna? or maybe the blood they suck out of us is mumeen is stored and then transported to germany to be infused in him? now that would present another dilemma, although the blood in him would be paak, it would classify him officially as our chief blood sucker...!!! :roll:

all this is getting very confusing..

The subject project has not come out of the blue, it was started a long time ago when some buildings situated near raudat tahera were bought over by kothar and a few were demolished. In the early nineties Quad johar had almost formed a commitee whose duty was to convince the ismaili shopkeepers who had quite a few leather shops in the buildings near the raudat tahera to somehow sell their shops and for which a handsome amount was offered. It seems that they were very reluctant to shift their business establishments due to which it made no sense taking over the buildings as it would be impossible for kothar to demolish the same as the shopkeepers refused to vacate their premises.

The recent changes in law by the present govt with regard to redevelopment of old buildings makes it easy for kothar to demolish the buildings as it requires the consent of a maximum of 75% of the tenants and so a refusal by the minority tenants doesnt hold good in the court of law. It is a known fact that the buildings are full of bohra tenants and the non bohra shopkeepers are in a poor minority. Hence obtaining consent from the bohras is a childs play for kothar as they have various means and blackmailing tactics to do so like baraat, refusing to bury the dead, refusing nikah etc. etc.

Kothar's original plan was to first construct a multi storeyed building in place of Mohammadi/Tayabi manzil in such a way so as to make an arch in between the buildings. The reason was that the multi crore monument (raudat tahera) could be easily visible from the arch by thousands of travellers on the main I.R.road which is not the case now. They even wanted to take over the buildings on the null bazaar side so that raudat tahera could be seen by people traveling on the other busy road parallel to null bazaar but they faced a major obstacle here in the form of a sunni masjid which naturally the muslims refused to give away. Iam not aware of any compromise if any with the sunnis as of now. The whole idea behind this was to give publicity to raudat tahera.

The reason for taking over almost all the buildings in bori mohalla even if they are away from raudat tahera is to ensure that bohras live in a ghettoized environment which also makes it easy for kothar to keep a constant watch on them and makes their grip over them much stronger. As it is, bohras are like "kuva maa medak", almost unaware of the outside world and the islamic practice of the non bohra muslims due to which they are allergic to fellow muslims and are made to believe that they only are the saved sect whose entry to paradise is fully assured. Now this 'ghettoized' plan makes it doubly sure that they drift away further from the mainstream muslims and remain ignorant of the true Islam.

Any idea on how this mamoth project is going to be funded ? When 'Sandoz House' at worli was purchased by kothar, bohras were forced to buy multiple units of Rs.5,000/- each. In return they got a 'dabbi' of khak-e-shifa. So whats the catch now ?

I had learnt about this project a couple of months back from an authentic source. What makes me confused is WHY is this project taken up.

Kothar doesn't do anything other than for material gains. So here when they are investing a huge amount , monetory returns are negligible, SO what is their gain in this.

Is it a prestigious issue for Raudat Tahera to beautify it on the lines of Burhanpur or Galiyakot or something more to it.

This scheme is a standard scheme followed by all builders in India and elsewhere. They demolish old buildings, construct new ones, give small flats to existing land owners and than sell the remaining chunk of prime flats at high premium. The real reason behind this whole deal is Kothar private ltd's diversification into real estate business. Remember there is no business like real estate business. The Kothar will contruct high rise buildings where they will give the less attractive flats on lower floors to the existing land owners and sell the flats on the higher floors to rich bohri bakras at exorbitant prices. The motivation of buying flats in these buildings will be that "Apna Moula ae flats banawaa che ane building per dua padhi ne phook bhi nakhu che". Also, the minimum profit in this business is anywhere from 50-100%. Now that's not bad at all, right?

what a lame argument! when anyone's father falls sick they do not go round with begging bowl to collect money from bohras in the name of religion or extort money from others by force or use the moneys given to them by others in good faith, trusting that they will be used to uplift poor widows or orphans or used in the way of Allah.

all the millions of $ spent on syedna's treatment is the money of the community, not his or his sons' halal income. direct yr comment to his sons who call themselves shezaadas, living a life of haraam with bohras money and not to us.

if your bawa shafiq is ill, take him to the jungles of africa to hunt and kill animals for pleasure, as he automatically seems to recover his health when he goes there!!!

AZ, thanks yaar...u know I was livid but ignored that comment.n He's a junglee chamcha and I did'nt want to stoop to his level by adding any further remarks.
Whatever they say the facts remain unchanged that Dr. Sahib have had blood transfusion multiple times and German drs. world renouned for their medical abilities are trying to prolong his life by any which way, as instructed by Syedna's 5 or 6 sons.

This project seems to be in line with their working. The collection has become so huge, that to hide is very diffcult for them. So what they are doing is, investing in such properties that has bohra connection. In karachi jamat has undertaken quiet large projects, their mega project includes serai road bldg which costed almost 40 crore rupees. there are other projects in society and civil lines. if the project is completed, they have the income, otherwise they will linger on the project, and show expenses on them till they need to.

It is very smart corporate plan. In india too, when they are collecting billions of rupees from more than 800 thousand bohras, they have to siphon it off through some channel. These kind of mega projects give their collection legitimacy.

As insaf bhai said, and we all know, that royal family has no compassion for any ordinary mumin bohra. They have never called on any sick and suffering mumin to enquire about their health and well being. Usually they do not participate in fateh and soyem. well this is the smartness, they are pulling up the greatest hoax of the history and no body is noticing it.

I think a 22 thousand crores project is really a good one for the bohras and others who leaves in the vicinity of Bhendi Bazar. They leave in miserable condition worst then slums. If this project comes up it will give this people a respectable leaving condition.

However looking the past of Sayedna’s project including Saifee Hospital I am skeptic and wish that they at least do this project in honesty, and even if they make little money out of this will not make much difference in comparison to the benefits the poor will get.

Hope QaidJoher Bhaisaheb will keep in mind that the Saifee Hospital is made out of bohas money and the poor are not offered any benefits. Only to keep the ego high the hospital has no name plate till date and the first impression to the general public is hotel then the hospital.

I wish QaidJoher Bhaisaheb all the success in this project and appeal that in over confidence please do not take away their shelter instead of giving.

Bohris to redevelop Bhendi Bazaar to spen over 1500 crores

#17

Unread post by Aqa Moula_Zindabad » Tue Jun 16, 2009 7:44 am

Publication: Times of India Mumbai; Date: Jun 16, 2009; Section: Front Page; Page: 1

Mumbai: As the car ascends the J J flyover and heads towards CST, it’s difficult to miss the chaos on the street below, even if in a fleeting glimpse. To the right is Bhendi Bazaar, one of the most densely populated localities in the city, with creaking buildings standing cheek by jowl and a mass of humanity spilling all around. For any town planner, this is an urban nightmare.

Now, one of the biggest-ever redevelopment projects is ready to roll. And spearheading it is no builder but the spiritual head of the one-millionstrong Dawoodi Bohra community, Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin.

At an exclusive briefing to this newspaper at Badri Mahal, the Dawoodi Bohra headquarters in the Fort area of downtown Mumbai, his representatives said the project, which is expected to cost over Rs 1,500 crore, involves redeveloping 270 buildings and 2,000 commercial establishments spread over 18 acres, almost the size of the Oval Maidan. Over 25,000 people are expected to be rehoused in the new buildings. Interestingly, one lane of the landmark Chor Bazaar also falls under this plan.

The trust has submitted a proposal to the state government under the recently introduced cluster redevelopment policy, popularly known as 33(9). The scheme applies to dilapidated cessed properties as well as BMC and state government buildings in the island city. It encourages builders to take up a minimum area of 4,000 sq m (about one acre, which could hold five to six buildings) and offers a higher-than-standard floor space index (FSI) of 4.

The 98-year-old Syedna, currently in Germany, initiated the plan recently after witnessing the pathetic living conditions of Bhendi Bazaar’s residents—mainly Muslims of various sects, 80% of whom belong to his community.

WHAT IT WILL INVOLVE

18 acres, 270 buildings, 4,000 homes, 2,000 commercial establishments and 25,000 people

80% of the project involves rehousing the existing tenants free of cost in brand new buildings

The other 20% will include four residential skyscrapers to be sold at the market rate to recover the project costs

Each rehab building will have one floor dedicated to services, provision for recreational facilities and

two basements for parking

Almost 50% of the area will be reserved for open spaces and green areas

There are plans to broaden the narrow roads to up to 60 feet 50% of bldgs bought, new look in 5 years

Mumbai: Syedna Mohamed Burhanuddin, the spiritual leader of Dawoodi Bohras, has launched a makeover plan for the dingy, dilapidated buildings that house the community members in Bhendi Bazaar.

“The Saifee Burhani Upliftment Project has already bought over 50% of the buildings from the landlords. Once permissions come through, it will take five years to implement the project,’’ said Abdeali Bhanpurawala, executive secretary to the Syedna.

In the last three months, representatives of the trust have held public meetings in the area, explaining the benefits of this mega-project. The trust is identifying transit accommodation for the residents. Murtuza Ali Rajkot Wala, a member of the Syedna’s planning team, claimed, “This is going to be a philanthropic project and will be entirely funded by the trust based on a no-profit, no-loss model.’’ According to him, most of the buildings in Bhendi Bazaar are dilapidated and date back to the turn of the last century.

“This 18-acre stretch of Bhendi Bazaar is more popularly known as Bohri Mollah. Besides residential buildings, there are restaurants, offices of travel agents, sweet shops, tailoring and electronic shops and a foam mattress market,’’ said Rajkot Wala. Although the state government rule for cluster development stipulates a minimum tenement size of 300 sq ft for each household in the redeveloped building, the Syedna has directed that in his project the minimum size will be fixed at a carpet area of 350 sq ft. Tenements in the existing chawls are barely 150 to 200 sq ft large with common toilets.

Currently, the area is serviced by infrastructure that is nearly 100 years old. The existing roads were laid for transportation belonging to an earlier era and can hardly accommodate the volume or size of modern vehicles. The Syedna’s representatives said the idea was not only to provide better homes and roads, but a “milieu that supports human development to its fullest potential’’. Said one, “The residents should flourish socially, physically, mentally, spiritually and economically.’’

So are the residents giving their consent for this project? “There has been no opposition. People ask us for clarifications. But there is no arm-twisting. We are a peaceful community,’’ said Bhanpurawala.

aqmz,

you seem to be going overboard with your enthusiasm for this project! in theory, the project seems to be sensible and well-intentioned, but knowing the past history of the kothar and their tendency to deceive and commit fraud, it is but natural if we all treat it with extreme skepticism. the past 2 syednas have pulled off massive frauds not only on the community but even on people of the level of the presidents and prime ministers of india, not sparing also several leading islamic leaders and heads of states from muslim countries!

projects like the worlds best technical institute and the centre for islamic and arab studies, announced with so much hoopla and publicity are all buried and forgotten, so is the hundreds of kilos of gold collected to build the zarih of ma fatema! all of these projects on the face of it sounded very noble and deserving, but what happened? the saifee hospital was supposed to provide low cost treatment and even free care to poor bohras and also reformist bohras, as per strict rules of supreme court of india! where is it???? all the bohra masjids built around the world are convenient excuses to milk the community and embezzle funds, as there is no accounts or transparency! they collect 3-4 times more than the cost of the project and pocket the rest.

the kothar is too wily and cunning, too devious and crooked to think of the benefit of the community alone. they MUST be having a hidden agenda and purpose behind this scheme. we have a saying, "doodh no dajhelo, chaas pan phookine peewe." who will trust such crooks after their past behaviour?

in fact even dawood ibrahim is more trustworthy than syedna. atleast he is a man of his word.

Around 10 days ago, the amil of Qutbi Masjid located at Saifee Jubilee st, Bhendi bazaar had made a statement in the masjid that the subject project is shelved because the non bohra residents of bhendi bazaar refuse to vacate or be a part of the project irrespective of the amount offered to them by way of compensation. He had even told the bohras not to hunt for alternate accomodation (for the period till such time that the project is completed). Hence it is still unclear as to whether the project is to be shelved or continued or if any compromise formula has been worked out.

The question is once (if) the project does materialize and the dilapidated building are converted into FLAT system How much would be the Association and Maintenance fee. Usually in these TOWERS the monthly fees are higher than what an average Bohra family pays in monthly BHARU.
So what if family cannot afford to pay the monthly HOA (home owners Association)fee, what happens to them, do they get evicted and Kothari Goons take over at a ridiculously low prices and settle them some where far away from their employment or business in Bhendi Bazar or the vicinity.

The few differences that I have noticed between the report of Urdu Times and Times of India:

1) Urdu Times mentioned the name of trust as “Saifee Burhani Development Trust”. Time of India does not mention the trust and calls it “The Saifee Burhani Upliftment Project”

2) Urdu Times reported about the project after the meeting was held at Najam Baugh. Whereas the reporter Nauzer Bharuch of Times of India was called at Badri Mahal, the Dawoodi Bohra headquarters in the Fort area and given the briefing.

3) Urdu Times reports that the meeting at Najam Baugh was convened by Qaid Johar as local Muslims had raised objections and even after that meeting local Muslims were not satisfied so a committee was formed to get information directly from Trust’s office. But the Times of India news says: “In the last three months, representatives of the trust have held public meetings in the area, explaining the benefits of this mega-project.”

4) Times of India report says “There has been no opposition.” But Urdu Times says there were objections by local Muslims and even after clarification by Quid Johar local Muslims were not satisfied. It further says: “The Saifee Burhani Upliftment Project has already bought over 50% of the buildings from the landlords." These 50% have Bohra landlords. What about the other 50%?

5) In Times of India one Burhanpurwala says “There is no arm-twisting. We are a peaceful community.’’ We as Bohras know the truth of this sentence.

6) Time of India report says “The 98-year-old Syedna, currently in Germany, initiated the plan recently after witnessing the pathetic living conditions of Bhendi Bazaar’s residents—mainly Muslims of various sects, 80% of whom belong to his community.” Has Sayedna Saheb ever stepped out in the locality and witnessed the pathetic living conditions of Bhendi Bazaar’s residents?

5) Times of India report says: “The project, which is expected to cost over Rs 1,500 crore.” as against Urdu Times report of Majestic Project of 22,000 Crores.

6) Time of India says at one place that “This is going to be a philanthropic project and will be entirely funded by the trust based on a no-profit, no-loss model.’’ And at other place “The other 20% will include four residential skyscrapers to be sold at the market rate to recover the project costs.”

Few Muslims in Phool Gali of Bhindi Bazar told me that Mulla Saheb's men never call Bhindi Bazar as Bhindi Bazar but call it as "Tahirabad". They think that after development the name of Bhindi Bazar will be forgotten. One Bohra gentleman having "Gift article Shop" joined us in the discussion on his own and said that "To get press publicity and coverage every thing our Mulla Saheb does he some how envolves big political personalities, especially Presidents, Vice-Presidents and Prime Ministers like Nehru, Dr. Radha Krishnan, Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, Zakir Husain, Dr. Kalam, Manmohan Singh. This he keeps on doing after the earlier occasion is wiped out from the public memory. I am sure if this project is approved they will call Mrs. Pratibha Patil or Manmohan Singh again for laying down foundation stone. Have full page publicity in all leading national dailies. There after they will forget the project. So please do not worry thing is going to happen.
I was surprised to see how a Bohra shop keeper was expressing his anger so openly.

in bombay street language this is termed as "khaya peeya kuch nahi, glass toda bara aana"...!!

the syedna is an expert in " hatheli me chaand dikhana"...!!!!

and one more, " duniya mein ghadhon ki kami nahi, hakaalne wala chhahiye"...

The bhindi bazar project brings another such project undertaken in karachi. This was the demolition and construction of the saddar masjid. crores of rupees were extolled and some of the N.K.D.S acting as sub contractors got rich. A philanthopist of Karachi who at that time owned iron and steel and cement factories pleaded his case to syedna to just give him the blue prints of the masjid he would like to build it himself. Ofcourse this proposal was completly refused by the kothar and their goons. The reason is clear. There would be no kickbacks and money making chances for the n.K.Ds as there would be no subcontractors. and the kothar would not be able to collect money from the ignorant and innoscent on the pretext of building a masjid. After the masjid was demolished it took the kothar years to get the footing constructed because all the money collected was syphoned off. and there were times when the demolished heap of rubble had become a restroom for the public. Such is the kothar and such are its crooks.

I think that this project will be a good PR for our community and could give business to our people and jobs for people in our community , it will also uplift the area etc etc

I know the cynics will say that its a money making scheme, a few people will make money etc etc

Lets wait and see
