Srinagar: National Conference on Friday said barring Friday prayers in the historic Jamia Masjid here for the 4th consecutive weeks was “only achievement” of ruling PDP-BJP government.
“Stopping people from praying at Jamia Masjid has been the only ‘achievement’ of the PDP-BJP government so far. Last year, they broke all records by putting the historic masjid under continuous lockdown for 40 consecutive Fridays. Unfortunately the same practice is still going on,” Party’s General Secretary Ali Mohammad Sagar said in a statement issued here.
He said that the restrictions imposed in downtown with each passing day and barring people from offering Friday prayers was a glaring example of the failures of the government. “Needless to say such actions create hostility and restlessness among the people and will inevitably lead to a situation where people of Shahr-e-Khaas would feel cornered and targeted,” he said.
