Former Jammu and Kashmir CM and National Conference leader Omar Abdullah has put the Narendra government at the Center in the dock on the issue ranging from loud speaker to Halal Meet in the country. Omar Abdullah said- Wrong atmosphere is being created for politics. It is not just about hijab, we are being told that loudspeakers should not be used in mosques. If loudspeakers are used in other places, why not in mosques?
Omar Abdullah further said- You tell us that we should not sell Halal meat. It is written in our religion that only halal meat is to be eaten. Why are you stopping this? We are not forcing you to eat halal meat, that you should eat halal meat. We do not tell you that mics should not be installed in temples. Are there no microphones in temples and gurudwaras? But only our mike knocks to you, our religion knocks. You don’t like our clothes. You don’t like our way of offering Namaz.
Omar Abdullah further said that a hatred is being instilled among the people. This is not the India with which Jammu and Kashmir had made an agreement. We had made a pact with that India in which every religion was treated equally. We were not told that one religion would be given more importance and the other religion would be suppressed. Had we been told this, perhaps our decision would have been different.
Omar Abdullah said- We took a conscious decision because we were told that every religion will be looked upon equally. We talk of brotherhood but our competition is with those who talk of destroying brotherhood. We will not allow it.
