Banned Jamaat-e-Islami Factions Dispute Ideology and Property Control in Kashmir
Two factions of the banned Jamaat-e-Islami Jammu and Kashmir are publicly disputing over ideological direction, political involvement, and control of properties. The original Jamaat, led by former chief Ghulam Mohammad Bhat, denies links with the breakaway Justice and Development Front (JDF), which entered electoral politics in 2024. The JDF faction rejects accusations of property takeover and emphasizes legal engagement with authorities. Both sides highlight differing approaches to the ban imposed on Jamaat in 2019 and its political role in the region.
