After closing down Kashmir’s grand mosque for prayers on Shab-e-Qadr, one of the holiest nights of the Muslim calendar, authorities closed it again on the last Friday of Ramzan.
In a strongly worded statement, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq said that 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, Jama Masjid Srinagar continues to remain closed to people and I under house detention, even today.”
He also questioned authorities why the mosque, which he described as an “important centre of Kashmir’s religious identity” was being “repeatedly targeted and people’s fundamental right to religious practice curbed, when tall claims of normalcy are trumpeted every day?”
In a veiled attack on the Jammu & kashmir government, he said that those ruling in the peoples’ name “cannot absolve themselves from standing up to address this gross injustice”.
