Srinagar, Oct 29: The Anjuman Auqaf Jama Masjid today said that the authorities once again did not allow congregational Friday prayers to be held at Jama Masjid in Srinagar.
In a statement issued here, Anjuman Auqaf said that the deployment of forces was carried out since early morning in the area.
“When gates of the mosque were opened in the morning by Auqaf employees, forces stopped them and informed them that prayer will not be allowed today,” the statement said.
Auqaf said that that ‘repeated’ and ‘deliberate closure’ of the Central Jamia Masjid for Friday prayers by the authorities is highly condemnable. “Muslims of the valley denounce this injustice and interference in their religious obligations in strongest terms.”
