Grand Mufti condemns Mumbai blasts

Srin

agar, July 16: Grand Mufti of Jammu and Kashmir Maulvi Bashir-ud-Din today (Jul 16) condemned the Mumbai blasts saying the attacks were inhuman and terrorist acts.

"The blasts in Mumbai are acts of terrorism ... these are inhuman acts," the Mufti told reporters here.

Any amount of condemnation against such acts will not suffice and there is a need for coordinated efforts to root these out, he said.

"People from all walks of life have to cooperate to bring to an end these acts which result in colossal loss of human life, particularly innocent people," he added.

The Mufti said gambling, flesh trade and other vices were flourishing in the Valley while the law enforcing agencies were not taking any action.

"The vices have taken Kashmir in their grip and everyone is aware about it. The inaction of police raises questions about its role," he said.

The Mufti urged the people of Valley to make all endeavours to stop these activities which were not in consonance with Kashmiri culture.
