The people associated to Mirwaiz Yasir religiously are also not spared. Feroz Ahmed Haji who runs a charitable trust owned by Mirwaiz Yasir was also not spared, he was arrested yesterday. Gulzar Madni who has a religious affiliation to Mirwaiz Yasir was also imprisoned for many days which is a sheer frustration,” Moulana Nisar Ahmed Nayeemi according to the statement said.
Riyaz Ahmed, District President of Ummat e Islami for District Islamabad demanded the early release of Mirwaiz Qazi Yasir, Feroz Haji and all the youth who have been picked up in the town. He said the state Government should also intervene in the matter of desecration of Jamia Masjid.
