ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 7th Apr, 2024) The President of People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Mehbooba Mufti, has denounced the authorities for their decision to close the historic Jamia Masjid in Srinagar on Shab-e-Qadr, one of the holiest nights of Ramadan.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Mehbooba Mufti in a statement issued in Srinagar also denounced the authorities for placing Hurriyat leader and head of the mosque management body Mirwaiz Umar Farooq under house arrest.
Shab-e-Qadr, which falls during the last ten days of the Muslim month of fasting, is considered one of the most sacred nights in the Islamic Calendar.
“Land, resources, religion – what are you going to deprive Kashmiris?” she added.
The PDP chief also posted a photo of guards outside the mosque gate and a video showing closed gates.
Authorities closed the gates of the Jamia Masjid on Shab-e-Qadr, a day after Jumat-ul-Wida prayers were not allowed at the historic mosque on Friday, the last day of Friday prayers of the ongoing holy month of Ramadan.
