In the statement, Anjumam said all preparations have been made for tomorrow's Friday sermon by the Mirwaiz at Jama Masjid and people are eagerly awaiting his release and looking forward to seeing and hearing him. He further said that for the last three years, the pulpit of Jama Masjid has fallen silent due to Mirwaiz's house arrest, and despite repeated appeals from all sections for his release, he has forcibly been detained at home, causing grief to people.
