Srinagar, Mar 28 (KNS): Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Friday criticised the Government for closure of Jama Masjid on Juma Tul Vida and placing him under house arrest since Thursday evening.
"After shab-e-Qadr, Jama Masjid Srinagar continues to remain closed to people and I under house detention, even today on Juma-Tul-Vida, when lakhs of people eagerly await the whole year to offer congregational prayers on this blessed Friday for great reward and blessing from Allah," he said on X according to KNS correspondent.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
"Want to ask the authorities why is this most important centre of Kashmir’s religious identity and affinity repeatedly targeted and peoples fundamental right to religious practice curbed, when tall claims of normalcy are trumpeted every day? Those ruling in peoples name cannot absolve themselves from standing up to address this gross injustice towards Muslims of the valley and the repeated closure of #JamaMasjid," he added. (KNS).
