Srinagar: Authorities in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir have placed All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) senior leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq under house arrest today.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the authorities put Mirwaiz Umar Farooq under house arrest, citing the prevailing situation following the attack on Iran.<\/p>\n

He was scheduled to deliver a sermon today at Aastane Aliya Dastgeer Sahib on the occasion of the anniversary of Ummul Momineen Hazrat Khadija (RA) but was not allowed.<\/p>\n

Anjuman Auqaf of Jamia Masjid, Srinagar, has expressed deep regret over this decision, stating that preventing a purely religious sermon on such a significant occasion is unwarranted and disappointing.<\/p>\n

The Auqaf said that the gathering was spiritual in nature and intended to commemorate the life and legacy of Hazrat Khadija (RA), a revered figure in Islam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
