'Disheartening' to see country's largest minority facing 'Unprecedented Threats', says Mehbooba

Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Nov 26: PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday said it was "disheartening" that the country's largest minority was facing "unprecedented threats" as it celebrated Constitution Day.
The People's Democratic Party (PDP) supremo referred to the violence in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal, where four people died during protests against a court-ordered survey of a Mughal-era mosque.
The government on Tuesday kick-started yearlong celebrations to mark the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution.
"Today, as we celebrate Constitution Day, it is disheartening to see the largest minority in our country facing unprecedented threats. Their dignity, lives, livelihoods and places of worship are under attack, contradicting the Constitution's guarantee of equal rights and dignity for every citizen, regardless of their background," the former Jammu and Kashmir chief said in a post on X.
The violence in Sambhal, where four people died, "is a painful reminder of this harsh reality", she said.
"This trend of searching for temples under mosques continues despite a clear Supreme Court ruling that the status quo on all religious places, as they existed in 1947, should be maintained," Mehbooba added.
The PDP chief also said the "erosion of constitutional values and the rule of law is extremely concerning".
"…and unless we who believe in the idea of India rise up to defend these values, our nation risks losing its unique identity and becoming indistinguishable from its neighbours," she added.
