Incarcerated APHC-m chairperson Mirwaiz Umar Farooq Friday strongly condemned the government for not allowing congregational Friday prayers at Jamia Masjid Srinagar, and across many Khanqahs , shrines, Imambarahs and other main Masjids of the valley for the 12th consecutive Friday by imposing curfew, restrictions and curbs.
Mirwaiz expressed strong resentment over the interference and apathy towards the religious rights of the Muslims in a Muslim majority region by “the anti-Muslim ruling regime”.
Stating that while basic human rights of Kashmiri people were brazenly trampled upon through “brute force and military might”, “by curbing our religious rights the point is being driven home that as subjects of an Indian colony this is how we will be treated”.
“The PDP/BJP government is on a course to break all records of repression and tyranny against the people of the region in order to teach them the lesson of submission,” he said.
Senior Hurriyat Conference leader, Moulana Masroor Abbas Ansari led a pro-freedom march from Sazgaripora to Alamgari Bazaar.
The participants also protested against not allowing of congregational prayers at Jamia Masjid, Srinagar for the 12th consecutive Friday and the continued arrest of the APHC-m Chairperson who has been kept in solitary confinement and is banned from discharging his religious, social and political activities, continuous arrest and house arrest of resistance leadership, and “state terrorism”.
Referring to Moharram-ul-Haram program, Ansari said, “the program that the unified resistance leadership would give would be followed in letter and spirit.”
Meanwhile APHC-m condemned the government for slapping the infamous Public Safety Act (PSA) on senior Hurriyat Conference leader and Jammu Kashmir Awami Action Committee (AAC) General Secretary, Ghulam Nabi Zaki, who was already in police custody and was transferred to the notorious Kot Bhalwal Jail early morning today.
“75-year-old Zaki suffers from various ailments due to repeated arrests and interrogations, and is a cardiac patient under treatment at SKIMS,” Hurriyat Conference (m) spokesperson said adding that the responsibility of his well-being and health solely rests with the government.
The spokesperson also condemned the imposition of curfew curbs and restrictions by the government to foil the resistance program of Lal chowk march.
