Jammu, August, 23: Gaurav Gupta, Spokesperson BJP J&K UT, said that the Government’s decision to take over 215 schools affiliated with the banned Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) and Falah-e-Aam Trust (FAT) is a historic and courageous step to safeguard the future of nearly 60,000 students and ensure that education in Jammu & Kashmir remains free from radicalisation. This action reflects the firm resolve of the Modi Government to protect young minds from any form of extremist influence.
He further stated that for decades these institutions, instead of serving as centres of knowledge and progress, were unfortunately misused by separatist elements to propagate their ideology. This not only put the academic future of children at risk but also attempted to derail the vision of a peaceful and developed Jammu & Kashmir.
Now, under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji and Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah Ji, these schools will function under a newly constituted management that will work transparently and in coordination with the School Education Department. The schools will strictly follow National Education Policy (NEP) norms to ensure quality education, discipline, and accountability. This will give students the opportunity to excel in academics and contribute positively to the nation.
Gupta said that this bold move is not just an administrative action but a landmark reform in the education sector of Jammu & Kashmir. It sends out a powerful message that the Government will not allow extremist networks to function under the garb of education. Instead, schools will once again become true temples of learning where children’s pens will write stories of peace, progress, and prosperity.
He added that the Bharatiya Janata Party fully supports this decision and assures the people of Jammu & Kashmir that every measure will be taken to ensure that the academic careers of children are safeguarded, teachers are protected, and parents regain full confidence in the system.
