Farooq Abdullah not allowed to step out for prayers on Milad-un-Nabi

 Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah was stopped by the administration from offering prayers at Srinagar’s Hazratbal shrine on the occasion of Milad-un-Nabi, his party the National Conference claimed in a tweet. The National Conference tweeted that it “condemns this infringement of fundamental right to pray, especially on the auspicious occasion of Milad Un Nabi Saw.” “J&K administration has blocked the residence of party president Dr Farooq Abdullah and stopped him from offering prayers at Dargah Hazratbal.

 JKNC condemns this infringement of fundamental right to pray, especially on the auspicious occasion of Milad Un Nabi Saw,” the National Conference tweeted. PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti in a tweet today criticised the administration for allegedly stopping Mr Abdullah from reaching the shrine.

“Preventing Farooq sahab from offering prayers on Milad Un Nabi Saw at Hazratbal exposes GOI’s deep paranoia and their iron fist approach towards J&K. It’s a gross violation of our rights and is highly condemnable,” Mufti tweeted about her latest colleague in the People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration, a newly minted group that includes Sajjad Lone to fight for restoration of Article 370 and resolution of Kashmir. “We strongly condemn the actions of the state administration which are tantamount to interference in the religious rights of Dr Farooq Abdullah,” Lone said.

GUPKAR ALLIANCE DEPLORE KILLINGS

The People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) on Friday “unequivocally and unambiguously” condemned the killing of three BJP workers in Kulgam. “Political differences cannot justify the use of violence. Violence crowds out sanity,” said Sajad Lone.(www.siyaat.net is Ahmedabad,Gujarat,  India basd website, powered by Gujarat siyasat fortnightly)
