Mirwaiz has been under house detention since August 5, 2019, when Centre announced abrogation of Article 370.

Meanwhile, emotional scenes were witnessed at the Masjid as a large number of men, women and children were seen kissing the pillars of the masjid.

“This is the place where our prayers get heard,” an elderly woman said amid tears—(KNO)
