The Divisional Commissioner of Kashmir, Anshul Garg, has declared the Darul Uloom Jamia Sirajul Uloom in Shopian district, Jammu and Kashmir, an unlawful entity under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). This decision follows a report from the Senior Superintendent of Police, indicating that the school has alleged links to the Jamaat-e-Islami, a group banned by the Indian government in 2019. The order cites credible evidence of the institution fostering an environment conducive to radicalization, with former students reportedly involved in militant activities. Additionally, concerns were raised regarding financial transparency and the potential misuse of funds. In response, Mohammad Shafi Lone, the chairman of the school, denied any connections to the banned organization, asserting that they are a law-abiding institution. He called for a thorough investigation into the allegations. Furthermore, the District Magistrate of Shopian, Shishir Gupta, has issued prohibitory orders to restrict unauthorized access to the school premises, allowing only residents or their relatives entry. Currently, 814 students are enrolled at the school, which operates under the Board of School Education and Kashmir School Federation.
