Hindu Family Gifts Land to Rebuild Home of Muslim Journalist in Jammu

Amid the escalating political storm over the Jammu Development Authority’s demolition of freelance journalist Arfaz Ahmed Daing’s house, a heartwarming act of communal harmony has emerged from Jammu and Kashmir’s winter capital itself. 

A Hindu family has gifted a 5-marla (1,362 sq.ft) residential plot to the affected Muslim journalist and pledged to bear the cost of rebuilding his home. 

The gesture, captured in widely



circulated videos on social media, shows an elderly Hindu resident Kuldeep Kumar Sharma affectionately called “Uncle Ji” handing over the land documents to an emotional Daing in presence of his minor daughter Tania Sharma.

“They have demolished his house built on 3 marlas (1,362 sq.feet). We are giving him 5 marlas of land. If they demolish 10 marlas, we will give him 20,” Sharma declares in the clip, underlining that the support is rooted in humanity, not religion.
