Ban on Jamaat-e-Islami unacceptable: J-K traders association

General secretary of JK Traders Association is upset with the decision of banning Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) and terms it 'unacceptable'.

Srinagar (J-K): Days after Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) Jammu and Kashmir was banned and declared an unlawful organisation, the general secretary of Kashmir Traders Association Bashir Ahmad said that the association condemns the ban.

Ahmad said, "In any condition, we will not accept that a religious organisation that worked for Kashmir even in difficult situations and helped everyone without differentiating between caste or religion will be banned."

"They have 400 schools running successfully in far-flung areas in areas where even government hasn't been able to construct schools, they constructed mosques too. They have never picked up a gun. Why is the government not banning the organisations which are actually dangerous for the nation," he further said.
