Senior BJP leader and J&K Waqf Board chairperson Darakhshan Andrabi threw a surprise by visiting the recently-released Jamiat Ahle-Hadith preacher Mushtaq Ahmad Bhat alias Mushtaq Veeri, whom the police accused of “instigating youth in Kashmir”.
Describing Mr. Veeri “an Islamic Scholar and eminent preacher,” Ms. Andrabi said she visited the preacher’s residence “to congratulate him personally”.
“Our religious scholars are very precious for the society. Wished him good luck. I am overwhelmed by his affection and prayers for me,” Ms. Andrabi, in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
