No place for extremists, hate mongers in civilized society: Mufti

However, he also appealed people to foil the attempts of the communal forces trying to divide people of the state on religious lines.

Reacting sharply to Udhampur incident, in which a few fanatic elements hurled a petrol bomb on a Kashmir-bound truck, injuring two men, senior Hurriyat (M) leader and Chairman JKLF (H) Javaid Ahmad Mir today said, need of the hour is to show strong resistance against communal forces.

He said it was in the Sopore convention of 1938 when the fight for independence was still ongoing in the subcontinent that Sheikh Abdullah took the stand and turned Muslim Conference into National Conference. “Kashmiris are inclusive and strengthened the secularism of the country”.

“If these people believe in what they say, they should go to the people with same slogans and ask for their votes in the name of India”.

Sayeed said the people of J&K had rejected Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s ideology when he visited Kashmir before 1947 and “conveyed to him that their path was different”. “It is only possible when we all remain united”.

There are estimates of about 36,000 Rohingyas living in India after facing exodus from Myanmar.

“We have been elected to set an example here”, National Conference leader Omar Abdullah said, moving the resolution.

Mr. Abdullah’s resolution said, “This House unanimously resolves to reiterate the firm and unshakable faith of the people of Jammu and Kashmir in its age-old tradition of secularism, pluralism and tolerance”.

“RSS is far better than these people as it has only one face”.

After days of acrimonious scenes on beef ban issue which saw an Independent MLA being assaulted by BJP members, Jammu and Kashmir Assembly on Friday unanimously passed a resolution proposed by Omar Abdullah, appealing to people of the state to maintain communal harmony.

Commenting on the resolution, Chief Minister Mufti Muhammad Sayeed said: “The message of inclusiveness preached by great leaders must not get eclipsed by the action of those who create panic leading to insecurity among the minorities of the country”.

Sayeed said the biggest achievement would be to unite the different regions of the state.
