Jammu and Kashmir police has placed various Hurriyat leaders under house arrest to prevent any trouble on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr. Mirwaiz Umar Farooq who was supposed to lead a congregation at Eidgah was barred from moving out of his Nigeen residence. Mirwaiz has condemned the government decision to bar him from offering Eid prayers.
“Mirwaiz wasn’t allowed to come out of home in Old city for Eid prayers,” Hurriyat Leader Shahid-ul-Islam told Mirror Hurriyat (G) Chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani who is under house arrest since his return from New Delhi. While under continuous house arrest Geelani addressed people of Khojabagh Baramullah through telephone and also appealed to people to join Hurriyat and make it a strong base. Geelani had urged people to hold peaceful anti-Israel protests after Eid prayers.
According to police sources, to prevent anti-Israel and pro-freedom rallies in Kashmir valley, separatist leaders were placed under house arrest.
