Ahead of Shab-e-Qadr, the revered Jama Masjid Srinagar has been shut down, with authorities forbidding night-long prayers, as conveyed by Anjuman Auqaf on Saturday. After the Asr prayers, the gates of the Jama Masjid were sealed, and the police instructed worshippers to leave the premises. Anjuman Auqaf stated that they were notified that Taraweeh or Shab Khani prayers on the auspicious night of Shab-e-Qadr would not be allowed at the Jama Masjid.
In addition, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq was once again placed under house arrest earlier in the day. Anjuman Auqaf expressed dismay over the authorities’ decision and vehemently condemned this restrictive action.
