Srinagar, Oct 22: The resolution of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) seeking to hand over custodianship of the J&K Waqf Board to the Mirwaiz Moulvi Muhammad Umar Farooq-led Muttahida Majlis-e-Ulama Jammu and Kashmir (MMU) was among those dropped in the ballot.

The MMU is an umbrella body representing major religious organisations in J&K, both Sunni and Shia.

Its stated role includes promotion of intra-Muslim sectarian harmony, coordination among Ulemas (religious scholars), and custodians of religious institutions.

Given this background, the MMU is viewed as a powerful religious-community body that wields influential moral and social authority across sects in J&K.

The resolution submitted by the PDP proposed handing over the custodianship of the J&K Waqf Board to the MMU.
