Srinagar: Anjuman Auqaf Jama Masjid Srinagar said that today was the 182nd consecutive week that its President Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir Dr Moulvi Muhammad Umar Farooq was neither allowed to offer important Islamic obligation as Friday prayers nor address the faithful at the historic Central Jama Masjid Srinagar. This is extremely unfortunate, shameful and condemnable to restrict Kashmir’s top religious leader from performing his religious duties, it said in a statement.
The Anjuman termed this behavior of the authorities as highly regrettable and condemnable, saying the peeple are showing disappointment and resentment against the administration for not releasing Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir even after the prolonged house arrest of more than three and a half years and in the wake of the arrival of the Shab-e-Me’raj.
“People are unable to understand why Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir has been kept under illegal and arbitrary detention for such a long time without any reason,” the statement said. The Anjuman once again reiterated its demand for the release of Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir.
