Hyderabad: Talha Saleh Al Kaseri, social activist and AIMIM leader, urged the Minister for Minorities Welfare Mohd Azharuddin, urging him to shift the rare books kept at Maulana Abul Kalam Azad Oriental Research Centre, presently housed on the premises of the Royal Mosque at Bagh-e-Aam in Public Gardens, Nampally, to the Haj House building for safe upkeep.
In his representation, he said the research centre housed a valuable collection of historical and literary works, including a Quran dating back to the era of Mughal emperor Aurangazeb, books by noted poets including Allama Iqbal and several other rare publications.
