Wow, new low. If it was done in apology for destroying those many mosques then I would understand but its to win "hearts and minds". In other words bribe, to accept bondage under the Indian rule.
SRINAGAR: Indian-held Kashmirâs top Muslim clergy said on Friday they would launch a massive campaign against the Indian army renovating mosques and shrines in the region if the prime minister and president did not stop it.
Muslim leaders in the revolt-torn region have taken offence to an Indian army programme to repair Islamic holy places as part of a campaign that aims to win the âhearts and mindsâ of the local population.
They say only Muslims could carry out such work and an influential Muslim cleric issued a fatwa this week against using money from the army. âWe ask Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and President APJ Abdul Kalam to instruct the army not to interfere in the religious affairs of Kashmiri Muslims under the garb of âOperation Sadbhavnaâ,â said a joint statement issued by more than 70 leading Kashmiri clerics. The statement said a resolution was passed late on Thursday after a meeting of Muslim priests led by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Kashmirâs chief cleric and head of the moderate separatist political alliance, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference. reuters
