Srinagar: The Hurriyat Conference on Friday said it was “extremely unfortunate” that even in the month of Ramazan, its chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, who is a prominent religious leader in Kashmir, has not been released from his “arbitrary” detention.

The Hurriyat leader was detained at his house on August 04, 2019, a day ahead of the Centre announcing the abrogation of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status, and its bifurcation into union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.

“It is extremely unfortunate and deeply hurts the sentiments of Muslims of Kashmir that even on the first Friday of the blessed month of Ramazan, the pulpit of the historic and central Jama Masjid in Srinagar continues to remain silent as Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir continues to be kept under arbitrary house detention by the authorities,” the Hurriyat said in a statement issued here.

The Mirwaiz is a prominent religious leader who delivers sermons and preaches at the Jama Masjid  Srinagar on Fridays and important occasions, including during the holy month of Ramazan.

The Hurriyat asked authorities if the basic human rights to seek spiritual solace in prayers and supplications, “was a threat to the peace” in the Kashmir Valley.

“The pulpit of the Jama Masjid here would otherwise reverberate in the holy month of Ramazan, with spiritually uplifting ‘waz’ and ‘tableeg’ (sermons and preaching), supplications and fervent prayers to the almighty, providing solace and nourishment to the souls of those participating in it,” the statement said.

The amalgam said at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, when the need to seek refuge from it by praying was all the more urgent, “the pulpit of the Jama Masjid is forcibly kept silent”.

“It has been more than 20 months now that Mirwaiz is arbitrarily and forcibly detained at his home and not allowed to fulfill his responsibilities even as the Mirwaiz (head priest),” it said.

The Hurriyat said the “high-handedness of authorities is regrettable and condemnable”.
