IIOJK: Peoples Democratic Party President Mehbooba Mufti has said that the move by authorities to take over the Falah-e-Aam Trust (FAT) schools in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir is an assault on the territory’s education and cultural identity.
PDP President and former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti said said FAT schools had for decades maintained a balance between modern and Islamic education, providing learning opportunities to thousands of students and employment to teachers and staff.
Mehbooba recalled that while in office she had resisted pressure from New Delhi to ban Jamaat-e-Islami and seize its assets. “What even New Delhi could not impose at that time is now being executed by those who claim to represent the people of Jammu and Kashmir,” she added.
