Peoples Conference President and MLA Handwara, Sajad Lone, on Friday strongly criticized the Jammu and Kashmir Government for taking over 215 schools run by Jamaat-e-Islami’s Falah-e-Aam Trust (FAT), terming the move as blatant political overreach and servility.
“215 schools forcibly taken over by the J&K Government. And no prizes for guessing—the elected government has passed the order,” Lone said. “Shame and shamelessness have assumed new meanings in this government. They are setting new standards in servility.”
Recalling NC’s past rhetoric, he remarked, “Just to recall the sermons and edicts this party passed against its opponents… Let there be no illusions. This elected government is a partner in every act undertaken. Be it mailings or termination of employees, they are equal partners—both in the past and in the future.”
Lone ended his statement with a sharp attack on the ruling party, saying, “This is the A team. This was always the A team.”
