Srinagar, Aug 01: Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir, Umar Farooq has expressed deep grief over the killing of two non-local labourers in the Devsar area of south Kashmir’s Kulgam district.
Mirwaiz said Islam upholds the sanctity of every innocent human life and unequivocally condemns the killing of innocent persons. He said targeting poor labourers who have come to earn an honest livelihood is completely contrary to the teachings of Islam and the values of humanity.
He said that, whether in Kashmir or elsewhere, the spilling of innocent blood only brings more pain and suffering. “Violence must be shunned. Instead, the path of accommodation, dialogue and engagement is the way forward to make South Asia a more peaceful and better place for all its people,” he said.
The Mirwaiz also extended his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families.
