SRINAGAR — Anjuman Auqaf, Jamia Masjid Srinagar, Vice President Moulana Ahmad Sayeed Naqshbandi, Imam Hai expressed concern over the prevailing deteriorating situation in Jammu & Kashmir and demanded immediate release of Mirwaiz Umar Farooq.

He said this while addressing the faithful during Friday prayers at the historic Jamia Masjid, a statement issued here said.

In his address, Imam Hai strongly condemned the incarceration of Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir and “curbs on his religious, social and other activities especially preventing him from delivering Friday sermon at the Valley’s largest religious and spiritual place, Jamia Masjid Srinagar, the pulpit of which continued to be silent for the last 81 weeks.”

He said usurping the basic rights of Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir and the people through military might is extremely unfortunate and condemnable.

Imam Hai said the ongoing Rajab-ul-Murajab is a sacred month in which the Messenger of Allah Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) was bestowed with miracles among which the Me’raj-un-Nabi (SAW) was historic and revolutionary.

He said since it has been a centuries-old tradition of the Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir to organise special programmes and Majaalis wherein they would shed light on the importance and significance of Rajab-ul-Murajab and Me’raj-un-Nabi (SAW).

“Imam Hai while taking a dig at the authorities said there is a limit to everything and the continuous house arrest of Kashmir’s topmost religious leader is beyond comprehension in all ways,” statement said.

On the occasion, people present in the masjid expressed strong resentment over the continued detention of Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir and demanded immediate release of their beloved leader and thousands of political, social and civil society leaders and youth who are languishing in jails, the statement said.
