Women's separatist leader Syeda Asiya Andrabi led a protest on Friday in Srinagar against the 'persecution of muslims in Myanmar (Burma) and Assam' offering them shelter in Kashmir.
Asiya Andrabi, who heads Dukhtaran-e-Milat (Daughters of Faith), staged a protest along with dozens of her supporters carrying placards and raising slogans against the alleged massacre of muslims in Myanmar (Burma).
"The muslim world is watching the massacre of innocent muslims in Myanmar as mute spectators. The rulers of these countries have become stooges of the West," Andrabi told reporters.
"We appeal to the world to rise in one voice against the killings of Muslims in Myanmar and Assam," she said.
Andrabi who is known for advocating establishment of Islamic state, offered the muslims of these places shelter. "Let them come to Kashmir, and we will throw open our homes for them," she said.
Elsewhere in Srinagar people took to streets after the Friday prayers to show their support with Palestine on the International Quds Day started by revolutionary Iranian scholar Ayotallah Khomeini in 1979 against the Israeli occupation of Palestine.
Chanting religious slogans, the group of shia muslims led by Islamic scholar Maulana Abid carried placards reading 'Death to America and Stop killings in Burma, Palestine and Bahrain,' from Abi Guzar near Lal Chowk area of Srinagar.
