Article summary
A breakaway faction of the banned Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) publicly supported Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha’s anti-drug campaign in Kulgam district. The L-G emphasized that choking drug smuggling networks directly weakens anti-national elements seeking to destabilize the region and fund terrorism. This development marks a significant shift, as former members of a banned socio-religious organization are aligning with state-led initiatives to combat narco-terrorism, reflecting changing grassroots dynamics and a collective push against the weaponization of narcotics in the Kashmir Valley.
