SRINAGAR: Chief cleric of Jamia Masjid Srinagar Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Monday said that Waqf Amendment Act was an assault on the Muslim identity and expressed hope that Supreme Court will accept the concerns of the community and reject the controversial act.
Mirwaiz made these remarks after he visited Budgam to offer condolences on the demise of prominent Islamic Shia scholar Aga Syed Baqir Al-Moosavi.
He regretted what he said were the ongoing efforts to fragment the Muslim community at various levels—sectarian, political and social.
