Srinagar, Sept 20 : Police on Monday refuted statement of politician Asaduddin Owaisi over Jamia Masjid Srinagar.
In a handout issued, the Srinagar police said that there is a rumour floated by one non-Kashmir based politician that Jamia Masjid is closed. It is clarified that Jamia is fully open. Only on three occasions in total after it opened post-covid was it temporarily shut, this was owing to inputs of militant attack /law and order situation.
The police spokesman further stated that Jamia was then shut only after Jamia Intezamia authorities failed to give assurance & take responsibility of happening inside the Masjid. Non-Kashmir based persons who are far away from reality should behave responsibly and resist making false statements for gaining sensationalism, reads the statement.(GNS)
