Jammu and Kashmir: Appeal to mosques after Friday prayers, Hindus do not leave the valley, we are together, for the first time in the history of 32 years of terror, Kashmir spoke in unison

Putting aside the terror scare, the people of the Valley on Friday strongly condemned the killings of minority Hindus and common people in one voice. At the same time, after prayers from every street and nook and corner of the mosque, messages were sent that the killing of innocent people is prohibited in Islam. This is the first time in the 32-year history of Kashmir that such a large number of people have stood up against terrorism. After Friday prayers from every mosque in the Valley, prominent Maulana and Muftis gave a message of peace and appealed to other Hindu minorities, including Kashmiri Pandits, who were leaving the Valley fearing attacks, not to leave Kashmir. Every Kashmiri is with him.

Imam of Anantnag’s Jamia Masjid Sajjad Nomani said that it is shameful that terrorists are killing people to prove themselves Islamic. Islam does not allow the killing of innocent people. We are all saddened by these killings of Pandits, Hindus and common people in the Valley and strongly condemn it. People took out a peace march after the Namaz in Baramulla.

‘Stand Against Terrorism’

In Srinagar, Bandopora, Kupwara, Kulgam and Shopian, the Imams and Maulanas of mosques also condemned the targeted killings. An appeal was made to the people everywhere to stand against this Pakistan sponsored terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. He told the Hindu minorities that we will fight with you in the war against terrorism. Do not leave the valley.

Civil society groups and youth held placards and held a sit-in against terrorism and killings of civilians after Friday prayers at Srinagar’s main Lal Chowk. One of them Javed Khan said that these killings are a cowardly act of terrorists. We demand that all Hindu minorities, including government employees, be given arms licenses for their own safety.

The question arose, ‘For how long?’

The protesters also raised slogans – ‘Save Hindu – Save Kashmir’. There were placards in their hands, on which it was written – ‘For how long?’ Sajid Yusuf, who is leading the protest, said that we are gathered here so that the concerned authorities should give justice to the Hindu brothers and sisters.
