Mirwaiz hopes new govt in New Delhi takes realistic approach of dialogue for long lasting peace in Kashmir

Mirwaiz Umar Farooq addressed the gathering at Jama Masjid after four weeks as authorities had put him under house arrest. Following his release from over four year long house detention in September 2023, authorities have detained Mirwaiz on most of the Fridays and didn't allow him to go to Jama Masjid on different pretexts. Mirwaiz has also filed a petition in the J&K High Court challenging his frequent "informal house arrests."
