SRINAGAR, Mar 13: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference President Dr. Farooq Abdullah offered Jumat-ul-Vida (final Friday of Ramadan) prayers at Dargah Hazratbal Shrine in Srinagar. During the prayers, he prayed for lasting peace and prosperity in Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, and the rest of the country.
On the occasion, he criticised the authorities in Srinagar for preventing congregational Jumat-Ul-Vida prayers at the historic Jamia Masjid in Nowhatta Srinagar.
Dr. Farooq expressed dismay over the gates of the mosque being locked on the auspicious day, saying the move had hurt the religious sentiments of people who traditionally gather there in large numbers for the occasion. |
