May such a situation not occur again”, Abdullah said.
“Eid namaz was offered peacefully in J&K. But unfortunately, permission was not granted to offer namaz in Jamia Masjid Srinagar. I think there is a difference between the words and actions of the authority that takes care of security and law & order.
