Srinagar, Aug 19: Janata Dal United President for Jammu and Kashmir, GM Shaheen has criticized Waqaf Board’s diktat not to collect donations in shrines.
Shaheen said that the present members of Waqf Board barely know ABC of religion and yet are coming up with diktats that are against the traditions and culture of Kashmir. He said it is a hasty decision while removing the caretakers
from the shrines and imposing a ban on donation collection in J&K shrines will hit thousands of people.
Shaheen said Waqf Board has attacked the traditional system and it is virtually a slap on the face of Kashmiri culture.
“What Waqf Board will get by putting an end to the institution of Sajjada Nashin in these revered places,” he asked and appealed the Board to hold its decision.
