Kashmir seminary declared unlawful under Indian law, sparks outcry | Religion News
The declaration of a religious institution unlawful due to alleged ties to a banned group raises concerns about potential suppression of dissent and religious freedom.
An important Islamic seminary in Indian-administered Kashmir, Jamia Siraj-ul-Uloom, has been declared unlawful under anti-terror laws. Kashmir Divisional Commissioner Anshul Garg issued the order based on a police dossier alleging links to the banned political party Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI). Mohammad Shafi Lone, the seminary chairman, rejected the allegations and called the move a “calculated dismantling of Kashmir’s civic life.” Leaders in Muslim-majority Kashmir criticized the decision as part of an ongoing campaign of overreach by New Delhi.
