Mirwaiz visits Malik at SKIMS, says little scope for a military solution to K-issue | |
Srinagar, February 16, (Scoop News)-APHC leader, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, condemned those in power for repeatedly barring Muslims from offering obligatory Friday prayers at Jamia Masjid by imposing curfew and restrictions on Friday’s in downtown area. Mirwaiz addressing a congregational gathering before Friday prayers at Jama Masjid Srinagar said that the Muslim collaborators under the influence of their masters need to be reminded, that in Islam mosque is a place of collective worship and not just individual.
He said it is a community centre for the Muslims where besides other things the community comes together at prayer times and otherwise, to discuss and deliberate the issues facing it and the Jumma Khutba delivered reflects those issues and problems of the community and their redressal in the light of Quran, Sunnah and ethics.
APHC leader said for the last thirty years in particular, the gravest crisis being faced by the people of Kashmir is severe repression and suspension and abuse of all their rights including human religious and political as a consequence of occupation and the unresolved Kashmir dispute for past 70 years.
Mirwaiz said to forcibly prevent the Muslim community from gathering to offer obligatory prayers at mosques especially the central mosque on Fridays, in order to stop them from expressing their opinion and outrage at the alleged repression they are subjected to.
He said let those who mislead by such propaganda understand that the Kashmir problem will not disappear by barring prayers at mosques and blocking all avenues of public expression of protest and outrage against alleged repression, including in the mosques. Mirwaiz said it is extremely sad that daily precious human lives on all sides are lost at the altar of this dispute, and suffering endured something that can be easily altered if hard posturing and status quo is given up and reality pragmatism and justice given a chance so that a resolution is found to this dispute and an end put to this cycle of violence .
Mirwaiz said as is evident from the experience of past 70 years ,there is little scope for a military solution to the issue and after India and Pakistan turned nuclear to maintain the current status quo is all the more difficult especially in an environment of mutual mistrust and regular loc and border skirmishes . APHC leader said the escalation can anytime lead to a war with devastating consequences. So it is in the best interest of all that India and Pakistan behave like mature and sensible nations and in interest of their country and its people resolve the Kashmir dispute
Meanwhile, Mirwaiz today visited SKIMS Soura to inquire the health status of ailing JKLF chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik. He extended his good wishes and prayed for his speedy recovery.
