Mirwaiz condemns killing of Muslim man in Rajasthan, calls for probe
SRINAGAR — Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has condemned the killing of a Muslim man Saikun Khan outside a police station in Rajasthan, calling for a thorough investigation into the incident.
In a post on X, Mirwaiz said Khan’s family had alleged that he was targeted because his beard and skullcap identified him as a Muslim.
“This must be thoroughly investigated and those responsible brought to justice,” he said.
Mirwaiz also criticised what he described as inflammatory and communal remarks by BJP leaders and ministers in different states, saying such rhetoric was “normalising prejudice and emboldening hatred” against minorities.
“Hate speech has become routine political discourse,” he said, adding that repeatedly legitimising hatred from public platforms could have consequences on the streets.
“This dangerous normalisation must end,” Mirwaiz said. — (KIMS)
