Srinagar, Dec 15: Anjuman Auqaf Jama Masjid in a statement informed that authorities once again disallowed Friday prayers at the central Jama Masjid Srinagar today for the 10 th consecutive Friday in a row and also put Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir Dr Moulvi who delivers the Friday sermon at Jama Masjid under house detention. The Anjuman said that no reason is provided by the authorities for these restrictions and curbs.
Meanwhile Mirwaiz Umar Farooq strongly condemned the repeated closure of the Jama mosque on Fridays and his arbitrary on off detention , including on Fridays. He said that all claims of so called normalcy by rulers fall flat by such anti people measures. He said he fails to understand why the central Jama Masjid was being targeted again and again unless it is to cause grief to Muslims of the valley and show them their place in “Naya Kashmir “
He said the in charge rulers should stop playing with the religious sentiments of the Muslims and let them offer prayers in their mosques without hindrance. People’s silence and endurance of brazen attacks on their religious rights should not be mistaken as their weakness to respond.
