*Anjuman Auqaf Jama Masjid Condemns House Arrest of Mirwaiz Umar Farooq Amid Holy Ramadan Month, Calls for Immediate Release*

Srinagar, Mar 14 : Anjuman Auqaf Jama Masjid Srinagar has expressed deep disappointment and regret over house arrest of its president Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir, Molvi Umar Farooq, thereby preventing him from delivering the Friday sermon and offering congregational prayers at the historic mosque.

“This arbitrary and unjustified move by the authorities comes at a time when the holy month of Ramzan is going on – a month of immense spiritual significance for Muslims worldwide. Jama Masjid is the central place of worship where thousands gather for Friday prayers, seeking guidance, blessings, and connection with the Almighty. However, barring the Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir from fulfilling his religious duties and preventing the faithful from benefiting from his sermons deeply hurts the religious sentiments of the people,” reads a statement issued to news agency
