Press Release
Clarification on Mistaken identity, image/photo erroneously used
in a section of media reports.
It has to come to our notice on 5th July 2022 through web & electronic media and in pubic
domain about controversial & provocative statements on extremely sensitive matter related to
suspended spokesperson of a political party Ms. 'Nupur Sharma' issued through video
message by a person named 'Salman Chishti urf Salman' from Ajmer, who has many criminal
cases filed against him & is a history-sheeter in the local Police Station records.We hereby
clarify that the aforesaid person and circumstances are in no way connected or related to Haji
Syed Salman Chishty Gaddi Nashin-Dargah Ajmer Sharif (Chairman-Chishty Foundation)
Rajasthan, India. Certain sections of the media have also erroneously used the
photographs/image representation of Haji Syed Salman Chishty from Dargah Ajmer Sharif, who
have a considerable social media & web following as his name, details and pictures show up
when anyone searched in google search and online web search engines.This is creating huge
confusion & misunderstanding leading to extensive damage to the public profile, personality,
Interfaith Peace initiatives, Unity summits & dialogues along with the global humanitarian
services work undertaken by Haji Syed Salman Chishty on behalf of Ajmer Sharif and Chishty
Foundation, India. The Chishty Sufi Order strongly condemns such statements and firmly
believes in holy and sacred teaching of Hazrat Khawaja Moinuddin Chishty (R.A.) which is
"Love Towards All & Malice Towards None" that is which enables Peace, Unity & Universal
Brotherhood in light of Chishty Principles of Unconditional Love among the Human Family on
Planet Earth."This clearly is a case of mistaken identity. We urge all Media Representative and
Editors to avoid this mistake and refrain from using photograph/image representation of Haji
Syed Salman Chishty in all the published media reports & social media handles as we do not
have any remote connection with the said controversial accused person 'Salman Chishty urf Salman'. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation."
