Srinagar, Apr 04 (KNO): Anjuman Auqaf Jama Masjid has strongly reacted to the house detention of Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir, Dr. Moulvi Muhammad Umar Farooq, for the second consecutive Friday, and the restrictions placed on his peaceful religious and official responsibilities.
In a statement issued to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), the Anjuman said that the" undemocratic and hostile approach of the authorities towards the Mirwaiz is causing deep anguish to the Muslims of Kashmir."
Meanwhile, Mirwaiz in a statement on X said: "Another Friday, another house arrest and the authorities Jama Masjid phobia continues.
Meanwhile as things are fast regressing for Muslims in this country, latest being the highly marginalising Wakf Bill, it doesn’t seem far fetched that soon permissions may be sought and permits issued after verification, for Muslims to enter their mosques or be buried in their graveyards."—(KNO)
