JAMMU: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday stated that targeting a single community would only escalate tensions.

Speaking to the media regarding protests against the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, Abdullah explained that the charitable activities of the Muslim community are carried out through the Waqf Board.

"There is no religion that does not do charitable activities. The charitable activities of the Muslim community happen through Waqf... Only one community is being targeted. It is obvious there would be tensions surrounding it," Abdullah said.
