Terming the continuous house detention of Hurriyat Conference (m) chairperson Mirwaiz Umar Farooq as political vendetta, the amalgam spokesman said that Mirwaiz was once again prevented from addressing the Friday congregation and prayers at historical Jamia Masjid Srinagar.
The spokesman said during the days of historical importance in Islamic calendar in which the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (RA) and the tragedy of Karbala has taken place, Mirwaiz in his address was going to throw light on the historic event.
