Srinagar, Apr 19 (KNS): A special prayer meeting was organised by Jammu and Kashmir Awami Action Committee (AAC) at Jama Masjid Srinagar on the occasion of 55th death anniversary of great political and religious leader, Muhajir-e-Millat, Mufassir-e-Qur'an Mirwaiz Moulana Muhammad Yousuf Shah (RA).

 

According to a statement, issued to Kashmir News Service (KNS), a large number of people participated in the grand Qur'an Khawani, Aisaal-e-Sawaab and special prayer meeting for the elevation of ranks of late Muffasir-e Quran, Shaheed-e-Millat Mirwaiz Moulvi Muhammad Farooq and all other martyrs.

 

The statement reads that on the occasion, people expressed strong resentment against the continuous detention of the head of the organisation Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir Dr Moulvi Muhammad Umar Farooq (since 5 August 2019) and the postponement of important event like the 17th Ramadan due to the Mirwaiz's detention.
