J&K education minister denies takeover of 215 Jamaat-linked schools, says govt only sought temporary care



The verification of these schools, she said, had ended and these schools used to face issues every year at the time of registration for board exams.“The career of over 50000 students enrolled in these 215 schools was at stake as the validity of the managing committee of JeI-run schools had expired,” she said.“They issued a wrong order and mentioned DCs will run the schools. There is no mention of DCs in my approval. They have created confusion,” the minister asserted.She said she had proposed in her approval that DCs would help the management committees of these schools in the CID verification.“Why will the government take over these schools,” the minister questioned.“We will look after the schools till a new management committee of the schools is formed and CID verification received,” she said.The order issued by the Secretary to Govt School Education Department, Ram Niwas Sharma stated that the intelligence Agencies have identified a number of schools which were found to be directly or indirectly affiliated with the banned organisation Jamat-e-Islami (JeI)/Falah-e-Aam Trust (FAT).“The validity of the managing committee of 215 such schools has expired and has been reported adversely upon by the intelligence agencies,” it stated.
