Srinagar- The Muttahida Majlis-e-Ulema (MMU), an amalgam of several religious bodies, on Tuesday demanded the release of Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and other people in detention since August 2019 when the Centre revoked Jammu and Kashmir’s special status.

Islam said he will also write to Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha to seek Mirwaiz’s release.
