Kashmir seminary declared unlawful under Indian law, sparks outcry
"Declaring Jamia Siraj-ul-Uloom unlawful under UAPA is the latest act in a calculated dismantling of Kashmir's civic life. The pattern is unmistakable."
"We are a law-abiding institute and have nothing to do with the banned Jamaat-e-Islami, creating panic among parents and students enrolled here."
The Jamia Siraj-ul-Uloom seminary in Kashmir has been declared unlawful under anti-terror laws, leading to backlash from political and religious leaders. The order, issued by Kashmir Divisional Commissioner Anshul Garg, cites alleged links between the seminary and the banned Jamaat-e-Islami party. The seminary's chairman, Mohammad Shafi Lone, denied the allegations, asserting the institution's law-abiding nature. Critics argue this move is part of a broader campaign by New Delhi to dismantle civic life in Kashmir, affecting trusts, mosques, and educational institutions.
