A case was registered against the organisers and participants of a procession in Jammu & Kashmir’s Budgam district for allegedly creating a law-and-order situation by raising objectionable slogans. The case has been lodged against the organisers and participants of a Youm-e-Quds procession in Sonpah village, Beerwah, in the central Kashmir district, a police spokesperson said.

Youm-e-Quds or Quds Day, officially known as International Quds Day, is an annual pro-Palestine event held on the last Friday of the Islamic holy month of Ramzan to express support for Palestinians. The police spokesperson said during the procession, a large crowd gathered under the directions of the organisers and raised objectionable slogans.
