<b>Samiti objects to three Muslims on Amarnath panel</b>
Ishfaq-ul-Hassan / DNA Tuesday, June 23, 2009
Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir governor NN Vohra has appointed three Muslims to the 13-member Shri Amarnath Yatra Advisory Committee for a smooth conduction of the yatra. But the committee is yet to meet, as the Shri Amarnath Sangharsh Samiti (SASS) has objected to inclusion of Muslims in the committee.
The samiti, which spearheaded the agitation for restoration of 39.88 hectares of forestland to the board last year, called the move âundesirable and unnecessaryâ. âThe SASB Act clearly states that if a governor is non-Hindu, he has to nominate a Hindu to head the board. Taking it as a premise, how can a non-Hindu be part of Hindu religious body? Similarly no non-Muslim should be part of Muslim body,â said samiti convener Brig (retd) Suchet Singh.
This is the first time that the governor, who is also the board chairman, has nominated Muslims to the committee ever since the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB) Act was passed.
The three Muslims are namely Lateef Ahmad Bhat, Mohammed Jabbar Malik and Dr Mubeen Shah.
