Senior separatist leader Mirwaiz Umer Farooq on Monday asked people to remain vigilant and expose "anti-Islam" and "anti-movement" elements responsible for desecration of the Jamia Masjid.
Addressing people at the Jamia Masjid in old city Nowhatta area, Mirwaiz Umer Farooq said: "Black sheep responsible for the desecration of Jamia Masjid must be exposed. People have made sacrifices since 1931 and we must remain united to guard against such enemies of Islam.
"People have the greatest attachment with the grand mosque and any ill-treatment to it will not be tolerated."
Earlier, Mirwaiz Umer and Muhammad Yasin Malik called on senior separatist leader Syed Ali Geelani where the desecration of the pulpit at Jamia Masjid by some masked youths displaying black flags the last Friday was discussed.
