J&K parties seek removal of Waqf chairperson Darakshan Andrabi over ‘National Emblem plaque’ row

The J&B parties, including the National Conference (NC) and the Democratic Party of Opposition (PDP), took action against the feelings of Muslims by taking part in Srinagar to damage the feelings of J & K Waqf Chairman of the Board of Directors of J & K Waqf on Saturday, September 6, 2025. Meanwhile, BJP and Shiv Sena took action against those interested in vandalism.

The J&B police placed the first information report (FIR) on the incident where the worshipers lifted the national emblem from a stone on Friday. However, the police remained silent about whether they called the chapters to hurt both vandalism and religious feelings. The controversial record was established after the last renovation of the Main Prayer Hall, and Ms. Andrabi also took the names of MSE Gulam Nabi Halem, Tahildar Ishtiyaq Mohi-Uud-Din and Engineer Syed Ghulam Murtaza.

Speaking in Southern Kashmir, Prime Minister Omar Abdullah sought an apology from Mrs. Andrabi to “hurt people’s feelings”. “National emblems belong to the offices and official functions, not in places of worship.

NC planned to approach the President of the J&B Assembly to establish a home committee. “The Parliamentary Committee would examine the embezzlement and abuse of funds by the Board, NC said Hasna Masoodi, NC leader and former parliamentary member.

More than a dozen NC legislator held a press conference in the party center and asked Mrs. Andrabi to be removed. “The elections were a deliberate provocation as in Bihar. We will not allow the bait for the elections.

Mla Tanvir Sadiq said the protests in the temple were spontaneously. “Violence should have been. The movement of the Board has damaged religious emotions. The emblem is not used anywhere in any religious place. Mrs. Andrabi threatens people with fir and PSA. It is unfortunate to define all the Kashmir as a terrorist. We expect the police to take action against Mrs. Andrabi.”

Former J & K Prime Minister and PDP President Mehbooba Müftüs, Mrs. Andrabi and the authorities of the board of directors to “put the national emblem into the temple” also took action. “Instead of taking action against those who falsify the emblem of religious emotion, the government should place a fir against the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Board of Directors and the members who allow such abusive action,” he said.

Mutahida Majlis-e-Ulema (MMU), a holding of Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, said that Hazratbal is not only a structure, but a spiritual heart of J & K Muslims. Anı Any change that undermines its sanctity suffers deeply in the feelings of dedication attached to it.

MMU said that people’s reaction “reflects sincere religious concerns”. “It is unjust and unjust to open fire against worshipers. Religious issues should be solved by understanding and dialogue, not by harsh punishing measures,” he said. MMU, the plate of the hazelnut temple wanted to be removed immediately.

CPI (M) leader and MLA’s Tarigami took action against Mrs. Andrabi. “The actions that harm people’s emotions are not in the interest of the country, but provocative. There was no need to put the emblem into the temple. Authorities should understand that it is a law that punishes those who hurt people’s religious feelings. Ruling people should apologize instead of using fir, pressure or prison.”

Meanwhile, the supporters of Shiv Sena and BJP organized protests against those who entered the vandalism of the plaque with a engraved national emblem. “We will not allow our national emblem to break. This is our identity. Ashok chakra and pilgrimage cards. If one has a problem with him, they can reach the President.

He said BJP would not tolerate such an action. “This is a terrorist act. They want to repeat the 1990s and terrorism in Hazratbal,” he said.

Sunil Sharma, BJP leader and opposition leader at the J&B Legislative Assembly, accused NC of being a “semi -sudden” party. “We condemn the act of vandalism. This seductive and NC question the patriotism.”
