Controversy Over Mosque Profiling in Kashmir Sparks Debate

PDP President Mehbooba Mufti criticizes the profiling of mosques and imams in Kashmir, calling it interference in religious affairs. She challenges the government to conduct similar profiling across other religions and raises concerns over the alleged intimidation of Muslim communities.

In a recent statement, PDP President Mehbooba Mufti sharply criticized the ongoing profiling of mosques and their imams in Kashmir. Speaking to reporters, Mufti described the move as an encroachment on Muslim religious affairs.

Highlighting a potential double standard, Mufti urged authorities to consider similar profiling measures for other religious institutions, suggesting that temples across India undergo the same scrutiny.

She raised alarms over the perceived intention behind the exercise, warning that it could intimidate Muslim communities and potentially extend to profiling mosques nationwide.
