Srinagar, Dec 26: Peoples Democratic party (PDP) leader AND MLA Pulwama, Waheed Para on Friday said that Mirwaiz Umar Farooq removed the APHC tag as an act of peace and the act must not be “weaponized” against him. Para implied that by removing his designation as ‘Chairman All Parties Hurriyat Conference’ from his verified X profile, Mirwaiz chose peace over rigidity.
Providing an anecdote from Islamic history, MLA Pulwama said “in the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, the Prophet ﷺ agreed to erase the words “Muhammad-ur-Rasoolullah”—the very foundation of the Kalima—solely in the interest of peace.” Adding that “History remembers this not as compromise, but as wisdom, foresight, and moral courage”.
He said that those who are attacking and trolling him for this decision are deliberately trying to undermine him, making his path harder despite the extraordinary challenges he has endured and the supreme sacrifice of his father.

He added, “If Mirwaiz Kashmir has removed the APHC tag as an act of peace, it must never be weaponized against him. Choosing peace over rigidity is not weakness; it is leadership.”
“Mirwaiz has acted within the framework of law and circumstances. Those attacking and trolling him for this decision are deliberately trying to undermine him, making his path harder despite the extraordinary challenges he has endured and the supreme sacrifice of his father. Such attacks do not serve justice or peace, they only deepen division.” He concluded the post.
