Srinagar : All Parties Hurriyat Conference Friday said that the prolonged house arrest of its chairman and Mirwaiz of Kashmir Mohammad Umar Farooq since August 2019, even in the holy month of Ramzan despite appeals from all quarters for his release, barring him from his religious obligations as the Mirwaiz is greatly regrettable.
APHC defies the authorities claim that “all is well now” in “Naya Kashmir”.
“Not only that the repeated closure of the historic and central Jama Masjid Srinagar by the authorities also belies these claims. Not allowing juma tul Vida (last Friday of Ramzan) prayers at the historic Jama masjid, on such an important religious day when lakhs of namazis from all over the valley traditionally pray at the Masjid for its great religious significance , is condemnable. It is a direct violation of people’s fundamental right to practice their religion,” the statement said.
