Hurriyat Conference chief allowed Delhi trip for personal reasons

Mirwaiz Umar Farooq

Authorities here have allowed Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq to travel to Delhi for a “personal” visit. “Mirwaz-e-Kashmir Mohammad Umar Farooq was allowed by the state authorities to travel to New Delhi yesterday (Monday). Mirwaiz had conveyed the personal nature of his visit after which the authorities allowed him,” Anjuman Auqaf Jamia Masjid, the management body of the 14th-century mosque in Srinagar, said in a statement on Tuesday.

It claimed that despite his release from house detention in September last year, the Hurriyat chairman has been repeatedly detained at his residence at Nigeen, especially on Fridays. He has not been allowed to visit the Jamia Masjid, where he delivers the Friday sermon, since the Israel-Hamas conflict broke out on October 7 last year, the mosque management body said.
