The land was gifted by Kuldeep Sharma, who handed over the ownership documents to the victim through his daughter. A video of the moment has gone viral on social media, drawing widespread attention as a symbol of unity in the wake of the controversial demolition drive.
Speaking to reporters, Sharma sharply criticised the BJP, alleging that divisive politics cannot fracture the social fabric of Jammu. He said Hindus and Muslims in the region have lived as brothers for generations and no political party can alter that reality through hatred or fear.
He also lashed out at Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, suggesting that he should step down if he is unable to exercise authority over government departments. Sharma said if the administration could not prevent such demolitions, then remaining in office served no purpose.
The journalist whose house was demolished said the gesture by Sharma’s family restored his faith in humanity and showed the real face of Jammu people, contrasting sharply with the fear created by exclusionary politics.
Locals described the act as a powerful rebuttal to the narrative of communal division.
