Several political parties in Kashmir on Saturday (August 23, 2025) criticised the Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) government’s takeover of the management of the 215 schools affiliated with the banned Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI), with many calling it a “betrayal” by the National Conference.
PDP president Mehbooba Mufti described it as yet another attack on the institutions in Jammu and Kashmir, saying it is unfortunate that the ruling party is going “against its own people and implementing the BJP’s agenda’.
