Jammu and Kashmir People’s Conference President Sajad lone on Thursday criticised Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (BOSE) for removing a chapter based on the saintly life of the greatly revered saint of Kashmir Sheikh Noor -U- Din Wali, from text books of class 9.
In a post on X, Sajad lone wrote, “We have all revered him and people irrespective of religion hold him in highest esteem. This is pure cultural terrorism. It is an assault on our culture and ethos. I as a Kashmiri strongly condemn it.”
“More than anytime in the past, the current times are smudged with violence, greed and hatred. In these times our great Saint is a beacon of hope and role model for emulation. And for the BOSE removers — Our great Saint and his Saintly ways were etched in our hearts and minds much before BOSE came into existence,” he added in a post.
