\"\"Srinagar: National Conference President Farooq Abdullah has said that the controversy at the Hazratbal shrine in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir could have been avoided had the current Waqf Board not installed the plaque with the Ashoka emblem at the shrine dedicated to Prophet Muhammad.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, Farooq Abdullah talking to reporters in Islamabad district of the territory said, \u201cThere was no need to install the plaque. They put it up and people did not like it\u201d.<\/p>\n

Calling the installation a mistake that should not have occurred, he emphasised that Hazratbal and other shrines were built through the contributions of the people, not as favours from anyone.<\/p>\n

When asked about the FIR registered over the vandalisation of the emblem, Farooq Abdullah stated, \u201cThey need to understand that what they did was wrong, and the people will not tolerate such actions. We are a peace-loving community, and they should know that they made a mistake,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
