Ashoka Emblem At J&K's Hazratbal Shrine Damaged, BJP Says "Terrorist Act"
Armed with stones and shouting slogans, angry worshippers at Jammu and Kashmir's Hazratbal shrine defiled the national emblem on a plaque placed outside the main prayer room.
On the occasion of the 'Eid-e-Milad' (Birthday of the Prophet) on Friday, the year's largest congregation of devout Muslims from all over the Valley gathered at the Hazratbal shrine to spend the night in prayer and penance. For centuries, Dargah Hazratbal has remained most revered place for people of Jammu and Kashmir as it houses the relic of Prophet Mohammad.
