Spiritual head of Ajmer Dargah Zainul Abedin Ali Khan today held the ideology of Islamic preachers like Zakir Naik and policies of separatists responsible for "disturbance" in the Valley and alleged that they are playing with lives for their own motives.
"Ideology of preachers like Naik, Hurriyat conference and similar elements are responsible for disturbance in peace and they are playing with innocent lives for their own motives," Khan said in a statement.
"The result of their politics is that educated youth of Kashmir today is influenced by the ideology of separatism and getting violent. Muslim religious leaders need to oppose such ideologies to restore peace in Kashmir," he said.
Khan alleged that preachers like Naik are "spreading fanaticism in the name of religion".
"They claim that whatever they are doing is for religion but at the end of the day, it proves wrong.
"They are interpreting the religion as per their own thought and pushing the educated Muslim youth on path of violence," he said.
Khan also lashed out at them for not involving their own children in such activities.
"Why they are not giving guns to their children who are either studying abroad or working in MNCs. They just provoke others' children, not their own," Khan alleged and said gun is not the solution to the Kashmir issue.
