| A meeting on Saturday between a committee on the demolished Al-Sufa Mosque and the Capital Development Authority failed to make any headway, with the former demanding the mosque’s reconstruction at its previous site and the latter offering an alternative site. “We have proposed an alternative site for the mosque in I-8/2, a few streets from the previous site, and also offered to construct a bridge on a drain near the site,” CDA official Sarwar Sindhu said. A committee member, headed by Shujaat Hussain, supported clerics, saying the new site was too far from the previous one. Islamabad deputy commissioner said clerics’ agreement or disagreement on the new site did not matter. |
