Srinagar Mayor Junaid Azim Mattu has accused National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah of being un-Islamic. In this regard, he has also tweeted a photo in which the idol of Lord Nataraja is kept near him. Junaid has also expressed displeasure over how the picture of the Masjid Al Nawabi in Madina has been placed below the Nataraja. Mattu has given this tweet on the statement of Farooq Abdullah in which he appealed to Kashmiri youth to follow the teachings of Quran.
In fact, on May 12 (Friday), a statement of Farooq Abdullah was published on a news portal called The Kashmir Wala. Then he had given a message to the youth of Kashmir that they should read Namaz and follow Quran. During this, Abdullah told that every Kashmiri wants that the old status of his state should be restored. Abdullah, alleging anarchy in Kashmir and increasing unemployment, asked the youth to follow Islamic teachings. He had said that if you cannot read Quran, at least listen to it.
Srinagar Mayor Junaid Azim has hit out at Farooq Abdullah’s statement advising him to follow Islamic teachings. Junaid termed the actions of Farooq Abdullah as un-Islamic. He has shared 3 pictures in his tweet made on 12 May 2023. In one picture, two youths are seen standing behind Farooq Abdullah sitting on the sofa. A table is placed next to the sofa and a large idol of Lord Nataraja is placed on that table. A small picture below the idol is of the Masjid Al Nawabi in Madinah.
An apostate to Islam, a ‘murtad al-Islam’ (for abandoning basic principles and tenets of Islam), a Gustaakh-e-Rasool صلى الله عليه وسلم (see recent pictures from Dr. Sahab’s residence below) has the AUDACITY to become a Khateeb and an evangelist on and off.

In his tweet, Junaid has described Farooq Abdullah as Murtad (apostate from Islamic principles) and Gustakh-e-Rasool. He has further appealed to the people to see the pictures of Farooq Abdullah’s hall. Mattu asked the people to show one such Muslim house where Masjid Al Nawabi is being insulted like this. In his tweet, Junaid Azim Mattu termed Farooq Abdullah’s implementation of Islamic teachings to the youth of Kashmir as a drama. At the same time, he said that he should not mention the things of Quran or Namaz in his drama.
Junaid has accused Farooq Abdullah that he himself does not follow Islamic laws but is trying to become a religious preacher. Junaid has written a few lines in Arabic at the end of his tweet.
