Hurriyat chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq led prayers at Srinagar's Jama Masjid for the first time since October 2023, after being released from house detention.
Hurriyat chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq was allowed to lead prayers at Srinagar's historic Jama Masjid on Friday, marking the fourth time after his release from house detention in September 2023. This was the first time since October 6, 2023, that the Mirwaiz, who is the Kashmir Valley's chief cleric, was allowed to address congregants at the mosque. The Mirwaiz had approached the Jammu and Kashmir High Court last year, accusing the administration of placing him under house detention.
