“India is the best country for Muslims, Imran Khan’s call for jihad is shameful,” asserts Islamic scholar slamming Pakistan

New Delhi, October 14: Pakistan has been deliberately trying every trick from its book to demean India’s position by misleading the world on Kashmir issue. In a latest, a Sufi delegation consisting of Islamic scholars which met people from different faiths in the Kashmir Valley have slammed Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and said that his call for jihad is 'shameful'.

Briefing the media after their visit to the Valley, the delegation said that Pakistan's 'false propaganda' is creating a war-like situation between development and prosperity on one side and inhumanity and suffering on another side. Naseeruddin Chishti, part of the Sufi delegation visiting J&K in Srinagar said during a briefing on Monday said, “India is the best country for Muslims. Pakistan PM's call for jihad is shameful. Pakistan should go and fight in Palestine or China if so interested, we don't need their advice.”

 

Advocating for dialogue, the delegation appealed the Kashmiri people to ‘not fall prey to the cancerous disease of terrorism which is being projected under the garb of jihad from across the border’.

He added saying, “The situation in Jammu and Kashmir has nothing to do with any religion... he false propaganda from across the border has created a war-like situation between development and prosperity on one side and inhumanity and suffering on another side”.

The appeal by the Muslim body comes at a time when the state administration has restored post-paid mobile communication services in the Valley. Mobile communication networks were suspended on August 5 in light of the abrogation of Article 370 which resulted in the withdrawal of special status to J&K. On October 31, the state will be bifurcated into two union territories- Jammu and Kashmir with a legislative assembly and Ladakh, without one.
