Muharram procession continues in Srinagar; Kashmiri Shiite leader still under house arrest

Processions continue across the valley in Muharram organized by J&K Anjuman-e-Sharie Shian. Mourners expressed outrage against the Indian repression and ban on Muharram processions.


Processions continue across the valley on 7th Muharram organized by J&K Anjuman-e-Sharie Shian. Muharram Processions were taken out from Undroon Kathi Darwaza Rainawari, Wata Magam, Patwaw, Karipora Budgam.

Instead of curfew imposed by state administration in Undroon Kathi Darwaza Rainawari, mourners take out the procession. 

Mourners expressed outrage against the Indian repression and ban on Muharram processions while reading Marsia and lamentations. 

They also condemned the continuous house arrest of President J&K Anjuman-e-Sharie Shian Aga Syed Hassan Almsovi Alsafvi from past 3 months. The senior Shia cleric could not accomplish his bounden duties in view of Muharram due to his continuous house arrest.

He could not participate in any Muharram procession of this year till date. Meanwhile, he expressed outrage over the martyrdom of 13th year innocent boy Junaid resident of Saidapora Eidgah Srinagar and declared it a ferocious fete of Indian force. He said on one hand State administration is showing fake care towards the educational future of students but on the other hand these children are targeted and killed by pellet shells.
