A case was registered on Friday against the organisers and participants of a procession in Jammu and Kashmir’s Budgam district for allegedly creating a law-and-order situation by raising objectionable slogans.
The case has been lodged against the organisers and participants of a Youm-e-Quds procession in Sonpah village, Beerwah, in the central Kashmir district, a police spokesperson said.
Youm-e-Quds or Quds Day, officially known as International Quds Day, is an annual pro-Palestine event held on the last Friday of the Islamic holy month of Ramzan to express support for Palestinians.
The police spokesperson said during the procession, a large crowd gathered under the directions of the organisers and raised objectionable slogans.
By sloganeering, the organisers allegedly tried to create a law-and-order situation and blocked the Sonpah-Beerwah road, thereby causing obstructions to the public, he added.
The spokesperson said police took cognisance of the incident and registered a case under sections 126(2) and 189(6) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at the Beerwah police station.
