NEW DELHI: The Ind\u00adian administration shut down Srinagar\u2019s Jama Masjid on Friday and put Hurriyat chief Mirwaiz Umar Farooq under house arrest yet again with a view to stifling protests against a human catastrophe unfolding in Gaza.<\/p>\n

The reimposed closure of occupied Kashmir\u2019s historic mosque stalled a Friday congregation that recently resumed for the first time since India annulled occupied Kashmir\u2019s special status<\/a> in Aug 2019.<\/p>\n

The fresh measures against the Mirwaiz and his traditional address to Friday worshippers followed what looked like the unveiling of a new Indian policy that extends support to Israel and commits Palestine to a stony silence.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, however, the Ministry of External Affairs, apparently responding to opposition pressure and chaos in Arab countries, said India believes in its long-standing support for the establishment of a \u201csovereign, independent and viable\u201d state of Palestine.<\/p>\n

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to his Israeli counterpart and friend Benjamin Netanyahu soon after the Hamas raid on Oct 7.<\/p>\n

Mr Modi condemned what he called terrorism, a term even leading western media outlets, such as the BBC, desist from using even though they are sympathetic to Israel.<\/p>\n

The Mirwaiz had condemned the unabated abuse of Palestinians by Israel, and Friday\u2019s clampdown in Srinagar was possibly a worried response to that.<\/p>\n
