Follow Prophet (Pbuh), End Animosity: Shabir Shah

Srinagar: Senior separatist leader and Chairman Democratic Freedom Party Shabir Ahmad Shah Thursday led a delegation comprising of Islamic Political Party Chairman Muhammad Yusuf Naqash, Muhammad Yasin Ataai and other Freedom Party activists visited various areas of Budgam to encourage Shia-Sunni leaders to put an end to ongoing sectarian clashes and reconcile at earliest.

In a statement a spokesman of the DFP said the delegation after enquiring the root cause of clashes with responsible persons of both communities came to conclusion that it is the growing threat of ruffianism that led to skirmishes between the two communities.

While appealing for calm Shah told people that they belong to the same millat because their Allah, Messenger and Quran are one. He said that in present world scenario when anti-Islam forces are united against Islam, all the sects of Islam should rise above sectarian differences and unite as strong cemented wall against such forces.

But it is sad and heartening that instead of uniting against enemy we Muslims are fighting among ourselves, Shah said adding that the Shia Sunni confrontation is the handiwork of anti-Islam and anti-movement elements.

We should not harm that exemplary Shia Sunni brotherhood which we exhibited during the ongoing freedom struggle. Freedom struggle will not face more harm than Shia Sunni conflict, he added.

While expressing his anguish over the loss suffered due to rising hooliganism, Shah appealed the scholars of both communities to play their role in pacifying the sectarian tensions. Otherwise, this confrontation will prove detrimental to the peace and stability in Valley and will yield negative impact on freedom struggle, he added.
