Fiddling with Sharia law not acceptable: NC

The National Conference Monday accused the BJP of "fiddling with the Muslim Sharia law" for electoral benefits and asserted that tinkering with the customary Islamic law is not acceptable.

"Fiddling with the Muslim Sharia Law is not acceptable to us. The whole process is being executed by the ruling BJP to leverage poll benefits," said NC general secretary Ali Mohammad Sagar, addressing workers from different parts of the valley at the party headquarters Nawa-e-Subh here.

"The BJP's recent drubbing has made it pretty clear that people have now rejected it as a jumla' party," he added
