Madhya Pradesh: Muslims Burn Pakistan’s Effigy; Condemn Terrorists

Biaora (Madhya Pradesh): Muslims in the district raised anti-Pakistan slogans and burnt an effigy of terrorism on Saturday. They were protesting against the killing of 28 tourists in Pahalgam on Tuesday.

A large number of Muslims gathered outside Jama Mosque and took out a funeral procession of terrorism. They said they would give each drop of their blood in defence of the country.

District secretary of the Waqf Board, Sayed Baqar Ali, said if 140 crore people walked over Pakistan, the country would turn into dust.

The government of India should bring Pakistan to its knees, the protesters said. Congress leader Fareed Ahmad said if any country cast an evil eye on the country, 140 crore people would be ready to give a suitable reply.

The country is united against terrorism, he said. Killing people in the name of religion is an unpardonable offence, he said. Whenever Hindu brethren go to Amarnath temple, the Muslims are ready to serve them, but the terrorists are trying to create a rift between Hindus and Muslims, he said.
