Was under house arrest: Mirwaiz

Srinagar, Dec 6: Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has said that he was placed under house arrest today.

He posted on X, “As I was about to leave for Jama Masjid for the Friday sermon and prayers, I have been verbally informed that I am under house arrest today and won’t be allowed to go to Jama Masjid.

Is it related to the 32nd anniversary of the Babri Masjid demolition today and the wave of masjid and shrine surveys that we raised our voice against? Anyone’s guess.”
