Centre disrespecting majority sentiment with closure of mosques: Mufti
Srinagar: PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday accused the Centre of bias, saying preventing people from offering prayers at mosques and shrines in Kashmir shows the Government of India’s “disrespect” for the sentiments of the majority community.
Mehbooba was reacting to the continuous closure of a few mosques and shrines in Srinagar city, including Srinagar’s Jama Masjid, for the past few weeks.
“Preventing people from offering prayers & obeisance at mosques & shrines in Kashmir shows GOIs disrespect for sentiments of the majority community. Especially at a time when parks & public spaces are open & countless crowded govt functions held through the day. Reeks of bias (sic),” the PDP president wrote on Twitter.
