Shopian: In a bizarre development, Molvi Tariq, who used to head the
Friday prayers at Nai Masjid Shopian,

was not allowed to do so today following allegations that he had
impregnated a domestic help.
Molvi Tariq, who spearheaded agitation against the alleged rape and
murder of two Shopian women before the formation of Majlis, was this
Friday not allowed to lead the prayers.
Some people alleged that Tariq impregnated his domestic help, a girl
from Bona Mohalla, who had to go for abortion.
“Actually the girl was a domestic help with Tariq’s mother who was not
putting up with her son due to some dispute.
“Sometime back, the mother shifted to Tariq’s place and Tariq insisted
that the girl (name withheld) continues to help his mother.
“He even assured girl’s family that ‘her all needs would be taken care
of and he would also help to get he married,” sources said.
However, after sometime, it was shockingly known to the family of the
girl that Molvi Tariq had developed illicit relationship with her and
that she had conceived.
The family, sources said, rushed to Anantnag and got her abortion done
somewhere there illegally.
It is interesting to note that Tariq was affiliated with
Tehreek-e-Hurriyat, led by Syed Ali Geelani and led the earlier
protests in Shopian in that capacity. However, sources added, he has
been expelled from the party following the disclosure.
Sources said that following the girl’s abortion, the family approached
a local respectable (name withheld) and narrated the who story to him.
Following the disclosure, posters appeared all over the town not to
allow Molvi Tariq to head Friday prayers and thus he was not allowed,
sources said.
Sources said that elders were busy discussing the issue till late
Friday evening, however, it couldn’t be confirmed what decisions were
made.
