The Muttahida Majlis-e-Ulama (MMU) in Jammu and Kashmir has strongly condemned the incident that occurred in Masjid Sharief of Zadoora in Pulwama district. The incident took place on the intervening night of June 23 and 24, where personnel from the Army`s 50 Battalion Rashtriya Rifles allegedly harassed local people and beat up residents, coercing them to raise ‘Jai Shree Ram’ slogans from the mosque loudspeakers. The MMU expressed serious concern and condemned these actions, stating that they have deeply hurt the religious sentiments of Muslims in Jammu and Kashmir.
In a statement, the MMU criticized the authorities for their silence on the matter and demanded clarification on their position. They highlighted the increasing interference of government-backed institutions in the management and functioning of mosques, shrines, imambaras, and other religious institutions, expressing the need to address this issue as it is causing distress.
