Srinagar, July 14 (KNS): Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Monday reacted after Chief Minister Omar Abdullah was reportedly manhandled during his visit to the Naqashbandi shrine in Srinagar today.
In a post on X, Mirwaiz wrote, “Power teaches little, powerlessness teaches more! Today the CM sahab @omarabdullah tasted the bitter medicine of authoritarian high-handedness and subsequent helplessness that common Kashmiris face every day in different forms, as all agency and space is denied to them.”
He added, “Hoping this experience shifts his focus to what is the first priority of every people—upholding their dignity, and their fundamental rights, and work sincerely towards its restoration.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel”
Omar Abdullah had earlier shared a video of the same incident, showing him being stopped and blocked by security forces on his way to the shrine, where he went to offer prayers for July 13 martyrs.
He alleged that despite being the Chief Minister, he was prevented from visiting the graveyard and forcibly denied passage for a second day.(KNS)
