Srinagar, April 27 -- Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Monday criticised the declaration of Darul Uloom Jamia Siraj-ul-Uloom as an "unlawful entity" under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, calling it a "flagrant injustice" to underprivileged communities.
The Jammu and Kashmir administration on April 24 declared the south Kashmir-based Siraj-ul-Uloom an unlawful association under the UAPA, a stringent anti-terror law, citing concerns over its activities.
The move comes days after the J&K government took over 58 schools allegedly linked to banned Jamaat-e-Islami and Falah-e-Aam Trust. Siraj-ul-Uloom has also become the first seminary declared unlawful in J&K.
