Jammu and Kashmir Waqf Board chairperson affirmed the action being taken against the individuals who attempted to disrupt peace in the Valley. Andrabi emphasised that no one will be permitted to create a sectarian divide in society.
The comments come after a group of Shia community members held a mourning ceremony inside the Khanqah-e-Moula shrine, a revered Sunni site dedicated to the memory of Sufi saint Mir Syed Ali Hamdani, in the downtown area of the city.
"A planned attempt to hurt the sectarian cordiality was made by some today at Khankah-e-Moula. J&K Waqf Board has taken cognisance of the matter & action has been initiated. Nobody will be allowed to create any sectarian divide and stern action is being taken," Andrabi said in a post on X.
Srinagar's former Mayor Junaid Azim Mattu had flagged the incident earlier, saying it was unprecedented and could disturb sectarian harmony.
"I'm the most vociferous supporter of Shia-Sunni unity and we are all proud Muhibaan-e-Ahle-Bayat but Azadaari inside Khanqah-e-Moula is unprecedented and could potentially disturb sectarian harmony. What is @Jandkwaqfboard upto? I appeal for calm and understanding," Mattu said on X.
