Authorities disallowed Friday prayers at Srinagar’s Jamia Masjid, prompting condemnation from Hurriyat Conference (M) chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq.

“Once again no prayers allowed in barricaded and garrisoned downtown including at the #JamaMasjid ,while all channels of communication  remain blocked and leadership put under forced detention by the ‘republican state’”,” Mirwaiz tweeted. (Picture by Zargar Zahoor)
