A call to prayer has rung out from the central mosque in Srinagar in disputed Kashmir for the first time in more than four months in the wake of India's crackdown, ending a virtual ban on religious practice in the Muslim-majority region’s biggest mosque.
The Jamia Masjid in Srinagar was shut Aug. 5 as part of India’s security lockdown after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist-led government stripped Kashmir of its semi-autonomous status.“We were waiting for conditions to improve and the mosque gates to be opened by the police,” said Mufti Ghulam Rasool, who leads daily prayers at the mosque.
“Jamia Masjid is symbol of our faith,” said Bashir Ahmed, a local trader. “The assault on us is not just physical, they’re also desecrating our sacred symbols of our faith.” While some of the conditions have been eased, some mosques and Muslim shrines either remain shuttered or have had their access limited.
