Srinagar: PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday accused the BJP government of destroying all religious and Sufi traditions of Kashmir to implement its divisive agenda.
The former chief minister was reacting to an order issued by the Jammu and Kashmir Waqf Board on Monday banning all ‘dastar bandi’ (tying of the head as a mark of respect to an influential person) ceremonies.
“Hypocrisy knows no bounds as the BJP itself leaves no opportunity to tie a turban in a temple, dargah or gurdwara. They are not ready to stop till they destroy all our religious and Sufi traditions to take control by implementing their divisive agenda. ,” she said in a tweet.
The order states that Dastar Bandi is being held for political leaders according to their political affiliation.
The order states that Dastar Bandi should be done only to honor those who have achieved achievements in the religious field.
The PDP leader said, “Promoting the cultural and traditional practices of Jammu and Kashmir – arresting religious leaders, preventing Sajjad Nasheen from performing their traditional duties and now banning Dastarbandi, which is a form of blessing at religious places.” There is a universal function,” the PDP leader said.
