Mirwaiz while adressing Friday congregational prayers at historic Jamia Masjid said: “Curbing student activism and shrinking their space by continuous gagging is the reason why students are on roads today.”
He said by not allowing students to organise seminars and peaceful protests is also one of the reasons that students are on roads and protesting.
He further added that continuous detention of Hurriyat leadership hasn't also helped either to contain the situation on ground.
