BJP regime attaches properties of JI in IIOJK
Srinagar: Indian BJP regime has attached properties of Jamaat e Islami in Sopore area of Baramulla district of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
According to Kashmir Media Service, the police during crackdown operation attached properties linked to the Jamaat-e-Islami occupied Jammu and Kashmir (JI), include two double-storied buildings, six shops and two kanals of land comprise the premises of Islamia Model School, Duroo area of Sopore.
Observers view this as part of New Delhi’s broader strategy to economically weaken Kashmiris’ stand and suppress their aspirations on Kashmir dispute .
Critics argue that the confiscations are carried out under the guise of draconian laws and have escalated since the abrogation of occupied Jammu and Kashmir’s special status 370 and 35 A in August 2019.
Political experts and analysts in Srinagar described the actions as part of a settler-colonial project aimed at altering the region’s demographics by displacing local Kashmiris and facilitating the settlement of non-locals.
Properties belonging to prominent pro-freedom leaders and organizations, including those of the late Syed Ali Gilani, Shabbir Ahmed Shah, Aasiya Andrabi, and Jamaat-e-Islami, have been targeted. Even the headquarters of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference in Srinagar has been confiscated. Additionally, numerous residential houses, shops, and complexes have been demolished under similar pretexts.
Experts emphasize that these measures are intended to intimidate the local population into abandoning their support for the freedom movement. They warn that such actions are deepening economic distress in the territory and fueling resentment among the people of IIOJK.

Observers lament these measures are a clear attempt to economically cripple the people of Kashmir and force them into submission. “Destroying homes, demolishing shops, and confiscating properties will not subdue the Kashmiris’ resolve for freedom,” local political analysts said, urging the international community to take notice of India’s actions.
Despite these aggressive tactics, Kashmiris remain steadfast in their pursuit of self-determination.
