Srinagar, Aug 01 (KNO): Mirwaiz Dr. Moulvi Mohammad Umar Farooq has expressed deep grief over the killing of two migrant workers in south Kashmir’s Kulgam district on Friday.
In a statement, issued to news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), 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 said.
He also extended his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families—(KNO)
