Srinagar: The management committee of the Jama Masjid in Nowhatta in Srinagar alleged that the administration did not allow Friday prayers for the ninth consecutive week.
In a statement, the committee said they were informed by the police authorities early Friday morning to close all the doors of the grand mosque and not to open it for the day’s prayers.
It also expressed resentment against placing Mirwaiz Umar Farooq under “house detention” for the ninth consecutive Friday and not allowing him to visit the mosque to deliver the sermon.
