Jammu and Kashmir did not accede to this India: Omar Abdullah slams Haryana CM’s remark against namaz

“I would have accepted it had this ban been on every religion, but by this pick and choose, it is clear that the target is one particular religion which is not allowed by the Constitution of this country,” he said.

Srinagar: National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah on Sunday condemned Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar's remarks that offering ‘Namaz' in open spaces will not be tolerated, saying the decision was wrong and it clearly meant that one particular religion was being targeted.

He said there is total freedom to practice one's religion in the country.

“The Haryana CM's statement and his decision is totally wrong,” Abdullah told reporters after a party function in south Kashmir's Anantnag district.
