NEW DELHI: The five-year ban imposed on Jamaat-e-Islami, Jammu & Kashmir, by the Centre for the outfit’s active support to terror and secessionist activities has been confirmed by a tribunal headed by a Delhi High Court judge.
The tribunal, presided over by Justice Chander Shekhar, after going through innumerable evidence and deposition by witnesses observed that the “inescapable conclusion” is that the JeI, its office-bearers, and members have been actively indulging in unlawful activities.
“From the aforesaid discussion, it is apparent that the activities of the respondent association, its office bearers, and members have been disruptive in character, which threatens the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India.
They have been acting in collusion with other similar organizations in India as well as in other countries against their stated objectives in their constitution.
The separatist group is alleged to be involved in anti-national and subversive activities in the country and is in close touch with militant outfits.
