PDP Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti accused the Centre of disrespecting the majority sentiment with closure of mosques and shrines in Kashmir, saying that the government is biased in this case.
Mehbooba was reacting to the continuous closure of a few mosques and shrines in Srinagar city, including Jamia Masjid in Nowhatta here, for the past few weeks in the wake of a spike in COVD-19 cases.
“Preventing people from offering prayers & obeisance at mosques & shrines in Kashmir shows GOIs disrespect for sentiments of the majority community. Especially at a time when parks & public spaces are open & countless crowded govt functions held through the day. Reeks of bias (sic),” the PDP president wrote on Twitter.
