The Jammu and Kashmir politicians on Friday said that the administration’s measure to disallow congregational “Juma’tul Vida” prayers at the historic Jamia Masjid in Srinagar is “reprehensible”. “Juma’tul Vida” prayers are offered to mark the last Friday of Ramazan every year.
The managing body of the grand mosque, Anjuman Auqaf, earlier, in a statement said that the district magistrate and police officials visited the mosque on Friday morning and asked the management to lock the gates as “the administration had decided that `Jumma-tul-Vida` prayers will not be allowed at the mosque".
