The case of the inauguration plaque with the state mark in the Hazratbal Dargah has heated the politics of Jammu and Kashmir. PDP President Mehbooba Mufti demanded strict action against the Waqf Board and its chief, calling the incident deep on the religious sentiments of Muslims. At the same time, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah also raised the question and said that there was no need to put a government symbol at the religious place.
Mehbooba Mufti attacked Waqf Board
Mehbooba Mufti directly called Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to suspend the Waqf Board immediately and later dissolve it and restruct it. He said that the use of state symbol at a holy site like Hazratbal Dargah is completely inappropriate.
Mehbooba said, “Instead of taking action against those who spoil the symbol due to religious sentiments, the government should file an FIR against the chairman of the Waqf Board and the members who allowed to do so. Hazratbal is a religious place, not the coronation or the site of political symbolism.”
Demand for action under Section 295-A
The PDP president connected the matter to Section 295-A of the Indian Penal Code. This stream is related to the intention taken with the intention of hurting religious sentiments. Mehbooba said that the Waqf Board is responsible in this case and legal action should be taken against it.
Mehbooba Mufti strongly criticized the Waqf Board Chairman Darkhshan Andrabi. He said that it is completely wrong to demand PSA on plaque breakers.
Mehbooba said, “It is unacceptable to urge the Home Minister of India to apply PSA on local people. The real question is, who allowed to put a logo on a shrine where there is no idea of idol worship.”
He said, “It was not a BJP program. Unfortunately, Hazratbal’s sanctity was compromised in this way. If the current board still continues to work, then such actions affected by the BJP’s anti-Muslim ideology will keep hurting the sentiments of Muslims.”
‘Why symbol at the religious place?’- Omar Abdullah
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah also presented his side on this dispute. He said that government symbols are never used at religious places nor has any tradition.
Omar Abdullah said, “The first question is whether the symbol should have engraved the foundation stone. I have never seen this symbol being used in any religious program. So why was the need to apply it on the stone of Hazratbal Shrine? What was the need to put the stone? Wasn’t it just enough to work? Hazratbal Shrine was given this form by Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah. Did he put such a stone somewhere?”
He said, “People remember the work of Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, even if they have not put any stone for themselves. Government symbols are used only in government programs. Mosques, dargahs, temples, temples, gurudwaras are not government places, these are religious places. Government symbols are not used there.”
