Mirwaiz Umar Farooq Reacts On Invitation Of National Conference

Urges that the Jantar Mantar agitation go beyond statehood and include restoration of Articles 370 and 35A, rights of political prisoners, and peaceful conflict resolution

Srinagar: Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir Dr. Moulvi Mohammad Umar Farooq, while addressing the congregation at the historic Jama Masjid Srinagar, said that 13th July is upon us, a day when we recount the sacrifice of 21 innocent Kashmiris who were shot dead on this day 95 years ago in 1931 by the order of the autocratic rulers of the day for demanding basic rights, and laid the foundation for the long struggle of the people of Jammu and Kashmir for human rights and dignity.

Mirwaiz said that this Jama Masjid bears witness to their shahadat when their funeral prayers, led by Muhajir-e-Millat Mirwaiz Moulana Muhammad Yusuf Shah and attended by tens of thousands of people, were offered here.

He said that since the time of Shaheed-e-Millat Mirwaiz Moulvi Muhammad Farooq, there was a tradition to honour these martyrs by taking out a peaceful procession to the Martyrs’ Graveyard under his leadership, where homage would be paid to them and people would renew their commitment to peacefully struggle for the ideals for which they laid down their lives.

However, Mirwaiz said that, in recent years every attempt to honour the martyrs is thwarted, he is put under house arrest, and even the state holiday to commemorate their martyrdom stands revoked.

But their supreme sacrifice is etched in our collective memory for all times, and the people of Jammu and Kashmir will always honour them as their great martyrs and champions of their rights, he said.

Mirwaiz said that if the authorities allow this year, on 13th July, as per tradition, after Zuhr prayers, they will collectively go to Mazar-e-Shuhada Naqshband Sahib to offer Fatiha and pay tributes to the martyrs, Inshallah.

Mirwaiz also shared that he has received an invitation from Dr. Farooq Sahib, as was made public in the press by them, for the agitation at Jantar Mantar.

He said that after the 2019 unilateral changes brought by the Government of India, the State of Jammu and Kashmir was downgraded
