Diplomatic Correspondent: Pakistan has strongly condemned the continued closure of the historic Jamia Masjid in Srinagar, Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, calling on the international community to take notice.
According
to Kashmir Media Service, in a statement in Islamabad, the Foreign Office (FO)
said, “Pakistan strongly condemns the continued closure of the historic Jama
Masjid in Srinagar on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramazan.
“Preventing
worshippers from offering congregational prayers at one of the most revered
mosques in the valley constitutes a serious violation of religious freedom and
fundamental human rights in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir,” it
said.
The FO
said that for the seventh consecutive year since India had revoked the
territory’s special autonomy, occupation authorities had “sealed the mosque and
barred Kashmiri Muslims from gathering for prayers on this spiritually
significant day”.
“Such
restrictions on religious practice, particularly during the sacred month of
Ramzan, are deeply concerning,” it stated.
The FO
called on the international community, including the United Nations and human
rights organisations, to take notice of these actions and urge India to ensure
the freedom to practice religion as a fundamental human right in IIOJK.
