Takeover of FAT-linked schools by JK govt should not be politicised: Apni Party

SRINAGAR: Apni Party chief Altaf Bukhari Sunday said the issue of Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) schools, taken over by the J&K government, should not be politicised for political gains or used as a means to settle political scores.

Bukhari’s remarks came a day after the Union Territory government took over the management of the 215 JeI-linked Falah-e-Aam Trust (FAT) schools across the Valley.

“The government (ruling party) must recognise that the issue of FAT schools is directly related to the future of thousands of students enrolled in them. Public sentiments are involved in this matter. PTI
