“Our human and political rights already stand denied, and then there is this relentless interference in our religious matters—from locking us up to silencing our voice on issues ranging from the Ashoka plaque at Hazratbal to meddling with Muslim calendar holidays, to disallowing religious functions at masjids,” he wrote.
“The pulpit of Jamia Masjid will, however, continue to raise its voice beyond matters of religious interference or blatant violation of people’s rights and their disempowerment. ”(KNS).
