Mirwaiz condemns suicide blast in Pak mosque

Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Hurriyat Conference chairman and the chief cleric of Kashmir valley, on Saturday condemned the suicide bombing that killed more than 30 persons in a mosque in Pakistan.

“The heinous suicide bombing attack that took place during Friday prayers at an Imambargah in Islamabad, Pakistan, killing more than thirty worshippers, is deeply painful and strongly condemnable. Bloodshed in such a manner, that too at a place of worship, is profoundly distressing and unsettling, a moment of deep pain and reflection for the Ummah,” Mirwaiz said in a post on social media platform X.

He also extended his sympathies to the families of the victims.

“My heartfelt sympathies and prayers are with the families of the victims, for the swift recovery of the injured, and for peace, patience and unity to prevail in such a distressing situation,” Mirwaiz Umar Farooq added.
