The latest raids and sealing of offices come as part of the ongoing crackdown on JEI which began soon after Pulwama suicide attack by Jaish-e-Mohammad fidayeen Aadil Dar which left over 40 CRPF soldiers dead.
In a latest crackdown on Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) in Jammu and Kashmir, the authorities have sealed the banned socio-religious organisation바카라s properties in south Kashmir바카라s Anantnag. The officials said the JeI바카라s sealed assets on Saturday are worth over Rs 90 crores.
The officials also said that Saturday바카라s action was a part of plan to 바카라uproot the menace of terror funding to a great extent바카라 in J&K.
J&K바카라s State Investigation Agency (SIA), the officials said, has identified assets of JeI worth crores in the UT. The agency has identified nearly 188 JeI properties across J&K which will be notified, the officials said.
It was in 2019 that crackdown started against JeI. It was soon after the Pulwama suicide militant attack바카라which left over 40 CRPF soldiers dead, after a Jaish-e-Mohammad fidayeen Aadil Dar rammed an explosive laden vehicle into the forces bus carrying soldiers at Lethpora along J&K National Highway.
Next, the security forces began arresting JeI cadre and its organisation바카라s who바카라s and who in Valley, following the Centre바카라s order.
The Centre had put a ban on JeI. The government reasoned that JeI was 바카라intending to escalate its subversive activities, including attempts to carve out an Islamic state out of the Union of India by destabilizing the government-established law바카라.
The Centre바카라s order also said: 바카라The group(JeI) is also expected to escalate secessionist movement, support militancy and incite violence in the country바카라.
JeI before 2019 was banned twice in Valley바카라s history. JeI was banned for the first time in 1975 by then J&K바카라s PM Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah for two years and subsequently for three years. Later, when another Kashmiri Mufti Mohammad Sayeed was the country바카라s Home Minister, ban was imposed on JeI again in 1990.
JeI was founded in J&K in 1942. It has a strong cadre base across J&K.
It is different and separate from Jamaat-e-Islami Hind. JeI J&K is more inclined towards Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan.
It was in the subsequent years, particularly post Partition in 1947, the JeI began to strengthen its base in J&K. The JeI became an instant hit among peasant class in Valley, who at that point of time felt being exploited at the hands of landlords and upper castes.
JeI set a formal structure of the organisation in place and began to gain ground in the Valley.
It also started contesting elections. Later, it channelized its resources on social activities. The organisation introduced an education system in the Valley, particularly in rural belt, teaching modern education and Islamic theology to the students.
The schools came to be known as 바카라Falah-e-Aam바카라 schools, meaning for the 바카라welfare of masses바카라.
JeI also began to conduct congregations or 바카라ijitimas바카라 on weekly, monthly and annual basis.
JeI through its massive religious congregations known as 바카라ijitimas바카라, which it used to held annually, monthly and weekly, through which the people were introduced to new socio-political ideas and programmes.
The cadre-based party JeI has a powerful Majlis-e-Shoora (advisory council) which takes decisions on important issues through consensus.
The second tier of JeI consists of Rukn-e-Jamaat (pillar of Jamaat), who in turn elect the Majlis-e-Shoora.
The number of Rukn-e-Jamaat can vary from 100 to 300 but for getting into this elite group, one has to fulfil certain criteria바카라which can take more than a decade at least.
JeI was an influential member of undivided Hurriyat Conference from its inception in 1993 till 2003, when the amalgam suffered a vertical split led by Syed Ali Shah Geelani over alleged proxy participation in 2002 Assembly polls by some leaders of the People's Conference led by Sajad Gani Lone.
It was in 1972 that JeI won five out of 22 Assembly seats that it contested in Valley. Subsequently, in 1977, it won just one seat. In 1983 the JeI failed to open its account, and in 1987,JeI which contested under MUF(Muslim United Front) alleged of mass rigging.
The late Syed Ali Shah Geelani was associated with JeI for many years, and ardent supporter of Pakistan, Geelani was considered among important pillars of the organisation in Valley.
It was in 2005 that Geelani was suspended from JeI, following which he floated his own Tehreek-e-Hurriyat party.
However, following an agreement Geelani had entered into an agreement with Jamaat that secured his place in both parties.
JeI has a secessionist stand on J&K. It maintains that J&K is a 바카라disputed territory바카라, and seeks its resolution through 바카라right to self-determination바카라.
When militancy emerged on the scene in Valley during 90바카라s, Hizbul Mujahideen(HM) called itself JeI바카라s 바카라fauji bazu바카라 (armed wing) owing to large number of militants having affiliation with the organisation, including HM바카라s first commander Master Ahsan Dar.
Hundreds of JeI바카라s activists were allegedly killed by the counter-insurgent force Ikhwan during mid-90바카라s in the Valley. The Ikhwan was accused of human rights violations, arson and torture.
It was in 1997 that JeI distanced itself from HM. There have been rumours of JeI's association with the PDP which critics claim helped the party gain majority in the valley.
