Srinagar, Mar 28 (KNO): Jamia Masjid head cleric and Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir, Molvi Umar Farooq on Friday decried the co tinued closure of central Masjid and questioned the authorities over the repeated curbs on the religious freedom. In a post of X, Mirwaiz, who was placed under house arrest since yesterday evening, as per the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), said that "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." "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."—(KNO)
