Anjuman Auqaf dismayed over closing of Jamia again

Press Trust of Kashmir | Srinagar :  Anjuman Auqaf Jama Masjid Srinagar expressed  deep dismay at the authoritarian  attitude of the administration by once again locking the historic Jama Masjid on the important occasion of Shab-e-Baraat.

In a statement, the Anjuman said the closing  down of Jama Masjid  after a gap of only two weeks was extremely painful and such a harsh measure can only be called  infringement upon and interference in religious practices of people

Anjuman said that it’s head and Mirwaiz of kashmir , Moulvi Muhammad Umar Farooq  has been  arbitrarily detained for the last around three years, and all his da’wah  work stands suspended. Despite this, arrangements for nimaz e Isha and observance of Shab-e-Baraat were made at the mosque and thousands of devotees from nook and corner of the valley had come in large numbers for worship and observance of Shab-e-Baraat but administration’s hegemonic decision caused them great disappointment and inconvenience.

The Anjuman demanded immediate and unconditional release of Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir before the arrival of the holy month of Ramadan and hoped that the process of forcible closure of the Jama Masjid would now be abandoned.:-PTK.
