APHC Condemns Hindutva Priest’s Blasphemous Comments

The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) and various leaders in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) have released a fierce condemnation against Hindutva priest Yati Narsinghanand. His recent blasphemous remarks about Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) have sparked outrage among Muslim lines.

Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas, a spokesperson for the APHC, issued a statement urging Kashmiri citizens and religious scholars to rise against this affront. He called for vocal protests after Friday prayers, emphasizing the need to publicly denounce Narsinghanand’s heinous comments.

A unified front of APHC leaders—Farida Behanji, Zamruda Habib, Muhammad Haseeb Wani, and others—joined Minhas in denouncing the relentless wave of religious hatred propagated by Hindu extremists in India. They asserted that such inflammatory statements require unequivocal condemnation.

Minhas highlighted a disturbing trend: the BJP’s backing of Hindu extremists has left minority communities in India feeling insecure and vulnerable. He noted that these extremists routinely attack the beliefs of Muslims, Sikhs, and Christians, creating an environment of fear.

Advocate Devender Singh, echoing these sentiments, demanded the immediate arrest of Narsinghanand. He firmly supported the APHC’s call for peaceful protests against this blasphemy, underscoring the need for accountability.

Meanwhile, the APHC-AJK chapter has expressed complete solidarity with the protests planned in Jammu and Kashmir. Ghulam Muhammad Safi, Advocate Parvez Shah, and other leaders in Islamabad emphasized that derogatory remarks against the Prophet and the Quran will not be tolerated.

Their statements reflect a collective outrage. They articulated that Narsinghanand’s remarks are an attack not only on the Prophet but on the very core of Islamic faith. The leaders called for exemplary punishment for the priest, asserting that this level of disrespect must not go unanswered.

They encouraged the people of IIOJK to ensure the protests are a resounding success, signaling a united front against religious intolerance. This movement is not just a reaction of Hindutva goons; it’s a necessary stand against an escalating campaign of hate that threatens communal harmony.
