The Indian army has stopped the re-construction of a pre-partition era mosque inside the Badami Bagh garrison in Srinagar, and has barred citizens from holding prayer there.

According to Kashmir Media Service, the mosque, built during the reign of Dogra Maharaja Hari Singh, was being reconstructed in Saddar Bazar area of the cantonment, which is the headquarters of the Indian army’s 15 Corps.

Angry residents of the area said that the mosque was made out of bounds by one Colonel Malhotra on last Thursday and no one was being allowed to go near it. The worshippers were not allowed to offer Friday prayers last week.

“We pooled funds to carry out the construction work. One floor of the mosque was completed and only the slab was to be laid. However, an officer came last Thursday and ordered that no construction work was allowed,” said a trader, requesting anonymity.

At the officer’s orders, he said, the army deployed Military Police to ensure that no one walks through the restricted area. He said that the signboard erected outside the mosque was also removed.

“The army raised another signboard at the entrance that reads ‘out of bounds’.”

  1. Since as Pakistan cannot control terrorists and those well trained and heavily armed terrorists who cross the border into India disguised as stateless invaders from Pakistan keep on killing innocent Indian people, including Indian Muslims, the Indian army has to be careful to guard from subside bombers originating in Pakistan who act against the will of Allah but still believing that they are fighting for Allah. But they do not realise that to kill innocent people in mosque, as it happens in many places of Madern Day Pakistan, is a crime against any relegion including relegion of Islam. Hence for safety against such barbarians in form of suicide terrorists, if Indian army has stopped reconstruction of a ruined mosque in sensitive army premises, it is a REASONABLE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE AGAINST TERRORISM ORIGINATED AND SPREADED BY PAKISTAN. THE POLITICAL THUGS IN PAKISTAN HAS DESTROYED HINDU TEMPLES, GURUDWARAS, CHURCHES AND OTHER RELEGIOUS PLACES IN CONTRARY AGAINST HUMANITARIAN LAW AS WRITTEN BY UNITED NATIONS ORGANISATION. THARE ARE MANY RUINED MOSQUES IN THE WORLD, WHICH PAKISTANI GOVERNMENT CAN FUND FOR ISLAMIC PEOPLE TO PRAY, INCUDING IN PAKISTAN ITSELF, DESTROYED BY PAKISTANI PRO TERRORIST GOVERNMENT. SOME CRIMINAL THUGS IN PAKISTANI GOVERMENT ARE NOT STOPPING THE TERRORISTS OR SUICIDE BOMBERS IN NON PUNJABI TERRITORIES OF PAKISTAN. THIS IS BECAUSE THEY WANT ONLY PUNJABI PEOPLE IN PAKISTAN TO RULE AND INTIMIDATE BALUCHIS, SINDHIS, IRANI TYPE AND AFGHANI TYPE OF TRIBES WITHIN PAKISTAN.
    BY ACTS OF TERRORISM.
