Srinagar, Feb 13, KDC: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has strongly condemned the decision to seal Srinagar’s historic Jamia Masjid on the auspicious occasion of Shab-e-Baraat.
Taking to social media platform X, Abdullah as per Srinagar-based news-gathering agency Kashmir Dot Com, expressed his disappointment, calling the move a reflection of the administration’s lack of confidence in both the people and the law-and-order machinery.
“It is very unfortunate that the security establishment has taken the decision to seal the historic Jamia Masjid, Srinagar on one of the holiest nights in the Islamic calendar – #ShabEBaraat. This decision betrays a lack in confidence in the people & a lack of confidence in the law & order machinery that calm won’t prevail without extreme measures. The people of Srinagar deserved better,” Omar Abdullah posted. (KDC)
