Authorities Disallow Congregational Prayers at Jamia Masjid on Shab-E-Bara’at: AAJ

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 Jamia Masjid would now be abandoned.


SRINAGAR — Anjuman Auqaf Jamia Masjid (AAJ) Srinagar Saturday expressed dismay at the “authoritarian attitude” of the administration by once again locking the historic Jamia Masjid on the important occasion of Shab-e-Baraat.

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

Anjuman said that its head and Mirwaiz of Kashmir, Umar Farooq has been arbitrarily detained for the last around three years, and all his da’wah work stands suspended. Despite this, arrangements for Namaz 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 the 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 Jamia Masjid would now be abandoned.
