Saharanpur,

25 April (HS): Darul Uloom Deoband condemned the Pahalgam attack as a ‘crime

against humanity’ and advocated stern punishment against those

responsible. Islamic authorities

highlighted that the incident undermines national unity and that terrorism has

no place in Islam, while also rejecting attempts to relate such atrocities to

religion. Darul Uloom Deoband, a famous

Islamic school, vehemently denounced the latest terrorist incident in Pahalgam,

Kashmir, calling it a ‘crime against humanity.’

The manager, Mufti Abul Qasim Nomani, emphasized the need of taking

harsh punishment against those guilty for the incident, which claimed the lives

of 26 people, the majority of whom were tourists. Nomani described the incident as a ‘severe danger

to the nation’s unity,’ expressing condolences to victims’ families and wished

the injured a speedy recovery.

Urging

the central government to act quickly, he highlighted the barbarism involved in

attacking defenseless citizens and expressed sympathy for the bereaved

families. Leaders of both Jamiat

Ulema-e-Hind groups spoke out against the attack as well. Maulana Arshad Madani referred to terrorists

as ‘beasts,’ while Maulana Mahmood Madani underscored the attack’s inhumanity. Both leaders stressed that Islam’s

fundamental principles do not condone such brutality, encouraging unity to

avert communal discord.
