Srinagar: In occupied Kashmir, the Hurriyat forum led by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has strongly denounced the puppet authorities for placing its Chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq under house detention and locking down the Jamia Masjid Srinagar for second consecutive Friday.
The Hurriyat form spokesman in a statement issued in Srinagar condemned the undemocratic and anti-Muslim decision to lock down the Jamia Masjid barring people from offering Friday prayers in the mosque.
He said, “Once again strict curfew was imposed in downtown Srinagar turning the entire area into a military fortress by deploying police and paramilitary personnel in huge numbers and causing distress to the residents of the area.â€
