Jama’at To Act Against Cadres For Defiance

SRINAGAR:  Jama’at-e-Islami (JeI) Tuesday said it will dismiss any cadre against whom the charges of voting during Assembly elections are proven.

The JeI chief Mohammad Abdullah Wani had ahead of the polls said polls would never be substitute to the right of self determination. He had asked people to boycott the elections being held for 87 member state assembly.

Wani was reacting to the reports which surfaced earlier that some Jama’at-e-Islami cadres have taken part in polling and their vote would be instrumental in shifting balance in favour of a particular party in some segments.

Wani on Tuesday said JeI has already intimated to its cadre to remain away from the poll exercise. “We have sent a clear message to our cadre that they should not participate in elections and neither should they vote. When JeI says it has nothing to do with the poll process, how could it take part into it?” he said.

Wani said that if the reports that JeI cadre in North Kashmir and other parts of valley had voted are correct, then the organization would not be the mute spectator over this grave issue. “JeI would take disciplinary action against any of its registered member who has taken part in the poll exercise. We will take action against those of our registered members who have voted. So far we have not received any complaint, if we receive we will take action,” Wani said.

However, the Jama’at chief was quick to add that any person who has taken part in JeI’s function but is not a member, will not be scrutinized. “Anyone who is the Jama’at sympathizer cannot be stopped from voting if he is not our member,” he said. KNS
