‘Shoora to decide about JeAH’s poll boycott campaign’
Srinagar: Over the issue of Poll
boycott campaign, Kashmir’s Jamaet-e-Alhadith (JeH)Thursday passed the
buck to pro-freedom camp- stating the organization will follow suits of the
separatist leadership in letter and spirit.
Talking to KNS, JeAH chief Gulam Mohammad Bhat said that
the calls issued by Kashmir’s pro-freedom leaders will be followed and that
Jamaet has already made its position clear by maintaining that ‘Kashmir is a
disputed territory’ that needs to be resolved at the earliest. “Elections
cannot resolve the issue; hence it is a futile exercise. People know better
what they should do.”
The JeAH chief stated that his organization has already
intimated to its cadres over the issue of poll boycott. “We will follow the
call of separatists’ vis-à-vis polls- as they have asked people to stay away
from polls, we will follow the same.”
Bhat maintained that JeAH is a dawah organization and has
an important role for the eradication of social evils from the society.
When asked about Jamaet’s plans about the door to door
poll boycott campaign as done by Moulana Showkat Shah- the slain JeAH chief in
2008, Bhat stated that the issue is yet to be finalized and the same shall be
discussed threadbare at the Shoora meet- expected to be held in near future.
“If the Shoora decides that we must launch a massive poll boycott campaign- we
will oblige the orders and it decides to stay away from the exercise, JeH will
adhere to that decision.”
About Jamaet’s equations with Muthadi Majlis-e-Ulma, Bhat
said that as long as the guidelines of Quran and Sunnah are followed in letter
and spirit- it has no differences with any organization. “If someone overlooks
the guidelines of Islam- even if that party would be closer to us- there won’t
be any unity.”
Over the delay in the approval for the establishment of
Trans world Muslim University, the JeAH chief remarked that the delay tactics
from government’s side is being played for the establishment of Trans-world. He
added that so far JeAH has several times written to the authorities over the
reason of delay but no concrete reply is being given. “We will continue
to strive for the establishment of the university with the optimistic
approach.” (KNS)
