Mirwaiz Umar Gets CRPF Security Cover:Report

The Centre has reportedly enhanced the security cover for Hurriyat chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, with the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) now tasked with ensuring his safety due to elevated threat perceptions, particularly from a prominent Pakistan-based terror group.

While CRPF officials have declined to comment, sources familiar with the matter confirmed that the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) decided to upgrade Mirwaiz’s security following increased risks, particularly after his visit to Delhi last month.

During this visit, Mirwaiz interacted with migrant Kashmiri Pandits and also appeared before a joint Parliamentary panel on the Waqf Amendment Bill.Mirwaiz’s security cover had been withdrawn in 2019 following the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir.

His recent trip to the national capital marked his first visit since the removal of the region’s special status.His visit to Delhi elicited strong reactions from various political factions, which led to the decision to provide him with upgraded security.

During his time in Delhi, the Mirwaiz presented a six-point memorandum to the joint Parliamentary panel, addressing Muslim concerns regarding the Waqf Amendment Bill. He also met with Maulana Mehmood Madni, president of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind.(The Tribune)
