Sources also indicated that the inaugural meeting to discuss the Sufi circuit is expected to take place in February, with Union Minority Minister Smriti Irani engaging in dialogue with Muslim religious leaders.

In a symbolic gesture preceding this development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi presented a 'Chadar' to Bharatiya Janata Party Minority Morcha national president Jamaal Siddiqui during the meeting. This Chadar is slated to be offered on the 812th Urs of Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti at the Ajmer Sharif Dargah. The Urs festival is an annual event in Ajmer, Rajasthan, commemorating the death anniversary of Sufi saint Moinuddin Chishti.

Notable attendees at the Prime Minister's residence included Union Minister of Minority Affairs Smriti Irani, Syed Farid Nizami (Nizamuddin Auliya Dargah), Salman Chishti (Ajmer Sharif), party national vice president Tariq Mansoor, Delhi Haj Committee chairman Kausar Jahan, and Sufi Hazrat from Nagpur, Ahmedabad, Jammu and Kashmir.
