In brazen violation of the Kashmiri Muslims’ religious freedom, the BJP-led Hindutva government of India has once again prevented people of occupied Jammu and Kashmir from offering Eid-ul-Adha prayers at the historic Eidgah in Srinagar, tomorrow.
The IIOJK Waqf Board, headed by a BJP leader, is continuously denying permission to the Kashmiri Muslims to hold Eid prayers at Eidgah in Srinagar, citing renovations as a pretext.
Anjuman Auqaf Jamia Masjid, the management body of the grand mosque in Srinagar, in a statement in Srinagar expressed strong disappointment and resentment towards the Waqf Boad for not making arrangements for Eid Prayers at the Eidgah.
The grand mosque management said that despite repeated requests and reminders, the Waqf Board has not completed the repair works at the Eidgah, citing upgrades as a pretext for over a year.
