J&K BJP files complaint against Waseem Rizvi for hurting Muslim sentiments

The Kashmir unit of the BJP Saturday filed a complaint against the former chairman of UP Shia Waqf Board Waseem Rizvi for hurting the sentiments of the Muslim community with his ‘outrageous and anti-Quran’ comments.

“We have filed a complaint at Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Srinagar's officer against Waseem Rizvi for his anti-Quran remarks,” Manzoor Bhat, who was recently made party-in-charge of the BJP for the Kashmir province, told reporters.

"Nobody will be allowed to speak against any community or their holy book," Bhatt said. “We have filed a complaint and want the accused to be dealt with strictly so that no one will be allowed to interfere or make the remarks that would hurt the sentiments of any particular community,” he added.

Another religious body in Kashmir, ‘Majlis-e-Ulmae Imamia’ has also demanded the arrest of Rizvi for hurting religious sentiments of Muslims across the globe.
