Scheduled Protest :PAGD leaders placed under house arrest

Srinagar, Jan 1, 2022: In wake of scheduled protest against proposed draft of Delimitation Commission, police have placed top PAGD leaders under house arrest.

Peoples’ Alliance for Gupkar Declaration Spokesperson Muhammad Yousuf Tarigami told news agency Kashmir News Trust that he was informed by policemen that he is under house arrest and he can’t move out. “The gate of my quarter has been locked by the police,” Tarigami said.

He said PAGD had already announced a peaceful protest today against the biased unconstitutional draft of Delimitation Commission in which it has proposed 6 additional seats to Jammu and one to Kashmir.

“The intentions are very clear. Government of India by using Delimitation Commission wants to disempower us,” Tarigami said.

Meanwhile, Omar Abdullah while posting couple of photographs on social media showing a police vehicle parked right in front of the gate of his house and the locked gate of his father Dr Farooq Abdullah tweeted with a good morning wish.

“Good morning & welcome to 2022. A new year with the same J&K police illegally locking people in their homes & an administration so terrified of normal democratic activity. Trucks parked outside our gates to scuttle the peaceful JKPAGD sit-in protest. Some things never change.”

In another tweet he said: “Talk about a lawless police state, the police have even locked the internal gate connecting my father’s home to my sister’s. Yet our leaders have the cheek to tell the world that India is the largest democracy, hah!!”

Former Jammu Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba M***i who is also part of PAGD retweeted the tweet of Omar Abdullah.

Jamia Masjid in Srinagar remained shut for prayers for 45 Fridays this year, says Anjuman

Srinagar, Dec 31: Jamia Masjid, the grand mosque of Kashmir, here remained shut for congregational prayers for 45 Fridays this year, its management body said on Friday.

It appealed to authorities to stop “this grave injustice” against the Muslims of the Valley and open the mosque for the prayers.

“As the year ends, central Jamia Masjid - the religious and spiritual centre of the people of Kashmir - still remains out of bounds for Muslims of the valley for obligatory Friday prayers as its lockdown by authorities continues,” Anjuman Auqaf Jamai Masjid, which manages the mosque, said.

It said the mosque has been “forcibly locked down” for 45 Fridays this year -- consecutively for 21 Fridays so far.

“In the five years from 2016 to 2019, Jamia Masjid has been locked down for 112 Fridays. This data puts to shame the forcible closure of the mosque during the periods of worst autocratic rule that Muslims of Kashmir have suffered,” the Anjuman said.

It said the traditional 'Majlis of Waz-o-Tableegh' (religious sermon) delivered from the pulpit of the historic mosque for centuries by ‘Mirwaizeen-e-Kashmir’ has also not been possible with the lockdown of the mosque.

“Mirwaiz Umar Farooq (the current Mirwaiz of Kashmir) continues to be under house arrest for the third year in a row since 2019. The sorrow and pain this causes to people is unmitigated,” the Anjuman said.

The people of Kashmir, ulemas (preachers) and the Anjuman have repeatedly been urging the authorities to allow people to offer Friday prayers in Jamia Masjid and release the Mirwaiz “whose all human rights have been seized” but to no avail, it said.

“Anjuman once again asks the authorities to stop this grave injustice against the Muslims of the valley and open the mosque to people and release their Mirwaiz,” it added.–(PTI)
