“Mirwaiz Umar Farooq (the current Mirwaiz of Kashmir) continues to be under house arrest.”
Jamia Masjid, the grand mosque of Kashmir, here remained shut for congregational prayers for 45 Fridays this year, its management body said on Friday.
It appealed to authorities to stop “this grave injustice” against the Muslims of the Valley and open the mosque for the prayers.
“As the year ends, central Jamia Masjid - the religious and spiritual centre of the people of Kashmir - still remains out of bounds for Muslims of the valley for obligatory Friday prayers as its lockdown by authorities continues,” Anjuman Auqaf Jamai Masjid, which manages the mosque, said.
