Anjuman Auqaf Jama Masjid Srinagar said that once again its head and Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir, Dr Moulvi Muhammad Umar Farooq, who continues to be under house detention for the last more than three years since August 2019, was not allowed to leave his house to offer Friday prayers and hold majlis-e- waz at Jamia Masjid.
The Anjuman in a statement said that additional forces and police had been deployed around Mirwaiz Manzil Nigeen, the residence of Mirwaiz since Friday morning.
The Anjuman reminded the authorities to stand up to the statement of Lt Governor Mr. Manoj Sinha that Mirwaiz is free and can go anywhere.
Anjuman Auqaf Jama Masjid said that people are waiting for the LG’s statement to be executed on the ground, as they are early awaiting his release from house detention. (KNT)
