SRINAGAR: the government has allowed separatist Hurriyat Conference leader and cleric Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, who has been barred from offering Friday prayers at Kashmir’s grand mosque since the outbreak of Israel-Hamas war, to travel to New Delhi.
“Mirwaiz had conveyed the personal nature of his visit after which authorities allowed him to travel to New Delhi on Monday,” the Anjuman Auqaf Jamia Masjid, the management body of Jamia Masjid in Srinagar (Kashmir’s grand mosque), said. “He is accompanied by his mother and other family members,” it said.
Sources said Mirwaiz would be in New Delhi for two weeks.
