JAMMU, Apr 26: Various KP organizations have strongly condemned the desecration of temple premises of Barg Shika Bhagwati at the hill lock near holy Martand Shrine in Mattan township of Anantnag district in South Kashmir and demanded stern action against the miscreants involved in the act.
The National Conference (NC) Minority Cell president and ex-president of Tirath Raj Mattan M K Yogi while expressing his profound shock over the incident accused the Coalition Government of its failure in protecting the religious places. He demanded that FIR be registered against the culprits immediately and they be put behind the bars.
K P Sabha has also condemned the act strongly and demanded action against the culprits as the temple is one of the sacred shrines of Hindus in Valley situated on the hillock over the holy Sun Temple of Martand.
President of the Sabha K K Khosa while castigating the Jehadi forces for violence and Mayhem unleashed in Kashmir warned majority community not to get misled by Jehadi rhetoric. He said the Kashmir is burning and it will not leave Kashmiris unscathed. The present violence is not separatists/ Azadi movement but utter Jehadi religious fanaticism. He appealed the saner Kashmiri politicians to ponder and douse the fire.
ASKPC president Advocate Ravinder Raina and its general secretary Dr Tej have also expressed their shock over the incident and demanded immediate arrest of the miscreants who are playing in the hands of Jehaids to destroy Kashmir. The ASKPC leaders said that majority community in Valley should see through their game plan and work for restoration of peace otherwise the day is not far away when this fire will turn entire Valley into ashes.
KPC president Kundan Kashmiri has also strongly condemned the incident and demanded that the culprits be booked under law of the land. He said the act has exposed the Government which has failed to concede the demand of the community regarding passage of Shrines and Temples Bill which can ensure the safety of shrines and temples in Valley.
He warned the youth indulging in such activities were playing with fire as no religion teaches desecration of places of worship of other religions.
