Srinagar, August 01, 2026: Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir Dr. Moulvi Mohammad Umar Farooq has expressed deep grief over the killing of two non-local labourers in the Devsar area of Kulgam.
Mirwaiz said that Islam upholds the sanctity of every innocent human life and unequivocally condemns the killing of innocent persons. He said targeting poor labourers who have come to earn an honest livelihood is completely contrary to the teachings of Islam and the values of humanity.
He said that whether here or elsewhere, the spilling of innocent blood only brings more pain and suffering. Violence as a means should be shunned, instead the policy of accommodation, dialogue and engagement is the way forward to make South Asia a more peaceful and better place for all its people.
He extended his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families.
