Shopian properties of JEI are the first to be notified in a series of properties belonging to Jamaat Islami in other districts of J&K and Shopain has a lot of significance vis a vis Jamaat, it said. Saadu-din Tarabali and Ghulam. Ahmad Ahrar were the first to organize an Ijtima (religious gathering) at Badami Bagh Shopian in 1942 well before the first all India Ijtima of Jammat-i- Islami at Pathankot in 1945. Pertinently, Amir-i-Jammat Abdul Hamid Ganaie also hails from District Shopian and the clarion call of dismantling support structure of terror in UT of J&K had to emanate from Shopain only.
This will end up in crescendo, as the fight against terror networks, unlawful associations progresses, it said.
The action would uproot the menace of terror funding to a great extent in UT of J&K besides being a stepping stone in ensuring rule of law & a society without fear.
Pertinently SIA has identified as many as 188 JeI properties across UT of J&K which are to be notified during the further course of action to be undertaken. These are as a result of investigation of case FIR number 17 of 2019 U/S 10, 11 & 13 of police station Batmaloo being investigated by SIA.
SIA has preliminarily identified numerous properties purchased or acquired by JeI worth hundreds of crores of rupees.
In the first installment, after verification on ground, SIA has chosen district Shopian, the district with maximum Jamaat penetration and after confirming that nine different landed and in some cases land-Cum-house properties are indeed under JeI ownership or control, SIA submitted evidence before the District Magistrate of Shopian who has expelled the JeI from entering or using these nine properties under section 8 of UAPA, it said.(KNS)
