SRINAGAR, Mar 2: Former Union Minister and veteran Congress leader Prof Saifuddin has said that ban imposed by Govt on Jamat-e-Islami was uncalled for and unjustified.
” Blanket ban on Jammu and Kashmir Jamaat-e-Islami for five years is uncalled for. The reasons given by the Central Govt for banning Jamaat-e-Islami are not plausible, at all. The common people in Kashmir feel that banning Jamaat-e-Islami will cause further unrest on ground and worsen the situation,” Soz maintained.
“Governor Administration has been providing negative inputs which have further angered the people in the State. Governor rule can, under no circumstances, be considered to be a substitute for an elected Government. So, it would be in Governor’s own short-run administrative interests to avoid decisions that carry constitutional implications. The latest decision by the Governor to implement Central Govt decision on 77th Constitutional Amendment, to the State, constitutes a ‘tress-pass’. This measure needs popular support and should have been left to an elected Govt,” Soz pleaded.
