Mirwaiz Umar Farooq today expressed deep anguish after being barred from delivering the Friday sermon at Srinagar’s historic Jama Masjid for the third consecutive week.
In a social media post on X, Mirwaiz highlighted the emotional impact on the worshippers, stating:"Again prevented from going to #JamaMasjid for third consecutive Friday. Despite the bone chilling cold thousands of faithful-the elderly, women, physically challenged, children, people from all over the valley gather, waiting expectantly with a lot of affection and devotion to listen to the word of God at the Grand Mosque. What hurt and disappointment it brings to them all when those in power assert brute force and detain me, totally impervious and heartless to the grief they cause to them, to me and to the Muslims of the valley," it added

Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, has strongly condemned being barred from attending prayers at Srinagar’s historic Jama Masjid for the second consecutive Friday, calling his house arrest a reflection of the authorities’ discomfort with his public advocacy.
In a statement, Mirwaiz said, “As I raise people’s issues and concerns from the pulpit as is my duty, it seems to make the authorities jittery and uncomfortable. So, lock him up! As if by locking me up, issues will disappear, and reality will be altered.
He criticised what he described as an “authoritarian mindset” driving these actions, asserting that suppressing voices will not change the ground realities in Kashmir.
