Srinagar: Senior leader of All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, has expressed deep shock and anguish over the seizure of over 3,500 kilograms of rotten, unlabelled, and potentially unlawful meat from various locations in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, pointing to possible collusion with the authorities.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, speaking during his Friday sermon at the historic Jamia Masjid in Srinagar, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq condemned the large-scale malpractice. He questioned how such a massive operation was allowed to go on and unchecked for so long and raised serious doubts about the role of regulatory authorities in IIOJK.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere was the administration all this time? How could this go unnoticed? We do not know for how long this has been going on, but its scale and extent suggest a deep and disturbing failure of oversight\u201d, he said, emphasizing that the incident has deeply shaken the trust of people.<\/p>\n

Mirwaiz described the act of feeding people haram or harmful food as a grave injustice \u2014 a betrayal of public trust, a violation of divine commandments, societal values, and the law. He demanded that those responsible be held fully accountable and punished strictly and promptly under the law.<\/p>\n

He further raised concerns about the actual nature of the seized meat, with doubts over whether it was even sourced from permissible animals under religious guidelines. \u201cThese are not merely health violations; they are violations of our religious boundaries and our shared values as a society,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Mirwaiz also commended the vigilance and courage of citizens who helped expose the scandal, thanking them for their crucial role in bringing this crime to light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
