Not permitted to conduct Friday prayers: Mirwaiz Farooq

The Hindu  

Kashmir’s chief cleric and Hurriyat chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq claimed on Friday that he was not permitted to lead congregational prayers at the Jamia Masjid. As a religious and social figure, my activities have been brought to a grinding halt, causing distress to me and those associated with these activities,” the Mirwaiz said. He described the authorities move as “a reflection of negative thinking.” “People are persecuted and detained every day. “Unfortunately, you are actually enforcing it by force and intimidating people into silence, which in the long run is unsustainable,” the Mirwaiz said.
