Srinagar, May 15(ANI): Muslim leader Maulana Syed Athar Dehlavi, the chairman of the Anjuman-Minhaj-e- Rasool, has slammed separatist leaders of Jammu and Kashmir for leading hundreds in special funeral prayers for Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden.
Dehlavi criticized leaders such as Syed Ali Shah Geelani for giving homage to the world's most wanted criminal, who was killed in a secret US military operation in Pakistan's Abbottabad city on May 2.
"The sentiment of peace and togetherness has now come in people of Kashmir. A Kashmiri Pandit (Asha Bhatt, village head) being elected as the village body chief is proof that people now want to live in peace. And that is why holding funeral prayers for a man (Osama bin Laden) who has shamed humanity, who by his violent acts against America has shamed Islam, is not right," Dehlavi said.
"Therefore, we do not condone the actions of anyone who chooses to give homage or support to a man like him," he added.
Jammu and Kashmir separatist leaders, including Geelani, had protested the burial of bin Laden at sea and organized funeral prayers for the militant leader. (ANI)
