Kashmiri political leaders, including Mehbooba Mufti and Sajad Lone, condemned a petition alleging that the Ajmer Sharif Dargah is built on a Shiva temple, warning it could fuel communal tensions. Mufti linked it to divisive judicial decisions, while Lone criticized the obsession with “hidden temples.” Salman Nizami also denounced the petition, citing the 1991 Places of Worship Act.
