Srinagar, Jan 5 : Authorities toughened stand against separatists as they prevented the Chairman of Hurriyat Conference (M) Mirwaiz Umar Farooq from delivering Friday sermon at Historic Jamia Masjid in downtown Srinagar.
Though, he was released from the house arrest, Mirwaiz was not allowed to deliver the customary Friday sermon at Jamia Masjid.
“First Friday of 2018, again disallowed from offering mandatory Friday prayers! The practice of chocking all political space also extended to exercising fundamental religious rights ! what a shame!” Mirwaiz wrote on Twitter.
