Jammu and Kashmir Police on Tuesday evening said no order has been issued for disallowing Shab-e-Barat Prayers at Jamia Masjid.
In a tweet Srinagar Police wrote, “It is clarified that Administration & Police has nothing to do with night prayers on occasion of Shab-e-Barat Prayers not taking place in Jamia Masjid today. Neither any orders for disallowing was given nor it was executed by Administration/Police. Kindly don’t spread rumours.”
Meanwhile, Mehbooba Mufti in a tweet said “Locking up Jama Masjid on the auspicious occasion of Shab e Barat is a brazen violation of fundamental rights & religious freedom guaranteed by the Indian Constitution. May Allah Ta’aala give us strength to get through these tough times.”
