Today Eid-ul-Azha i.e. Bakrid is being celebrated across the country. From Jammu and Kashmir to Kerala, people offered prayers in mosques. Namaz was not allowed at Jama Masjid in Srinagar for the seventh consecutive year. Jama Masjid has been closed since Article 370 was removed in 2019.
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah objected to this. He said that I do not know the basis of the decision to keep the mosque closed, but we have to learn to trust our people. The Center should think about permission to offer namaz in the historic Jama Masjid.
Former CM of Jammu and Kashmir, Mehbooba Mufti said- Jama Masjid has been locked on Eid day. This is against our religion. Why Omar and Farooq Abdullah were placed under house arrest. It should be talked to the government on this.
