Banned Jamaat-e-Islami Members Launch New Political Party ”Justice and Development Forum” in Kulgam
Former members of the banned Jamaat-e-Islami have launched a new political party, the Justice and Development Forum, in Kulgam, Jammu and Kashmir. The group announced its intention to work at the grassroots level and address social issues across the region.
“We are launching a new political party. We will go to the grassroots and fight social evils across Kashmir,” the party’s representatives said while unveiling their plans.
The move comes years after the central government banned Jamaat-e-Islami in 2019, citing its alleged links with separatist activities. The newly formed Justice and Development Forum, however, claims to focus solely on social justice, development, and public welfare.
Political analysts view this development as a significant shift in the region’s political landscape, as former members of the banned outfit seek to re-enter mainstream politics. The party’s formation is expected to draw attention from both local authorities and central agencies, given its members’ past affiliations.
Security agencies are closely monitoring the party’s activities to ensure compliance with legal and constitutional frameworks. Meanwhile, the party’s leaders have asserted that their focus remains on governance, justice, and public welfare, distancing themselves from any controversial agendas.
