Anjuman Auqaf Jama Masjid Srinagar Urges Lifting Restrictions on Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir

Anjuman Auqaf Jama Masjid Srinagar expressed deep regret that Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir, Dr Moulvi Muhammad Umar Farooq, from 3 rd May and for the 4th consecutive Friday, has been prevented from performing the religious duty of delivering the Friday sermon and conducting prayers at Jama Masjid Srinagar.

The Anjuman in a statement said that this attitude of the authorities deeply hurts the religious sentiments of thousands of people who come from both the city and the countryside to benefit from Mirwaiz’s sermons and advice every Friday, only to return disappointed.

The statement urged the administration to lift the restrictions on Mirwaiz and allow him the freedom to propagate religious teachings and responsibilities.(KNS)
