Pass ordinance for Trans-world Muslim Univ: JAH

Srinagar: Jamiat-e-Ahle Hadees (JAH), a
socio-religious organisation, today held a rally here to press
their demand for an Islamic university in Jammu and Kashmir.
The rally, led by Jamiat president Ghulam Rasool Malik, was taken out from the Barbarshah office of the party and concluded at Press Enclave on Residency Road. Malik warned that if the ordinance to establish the Trans-world Muslim University was not passed during the current Assembly session, under way in the winter capital Jammu, they would call for protests which, he termed, will be a "flood".
"If the ordinance is not passed during this session, then this government will be responsible for any break down in law and order," he said.
Establishment of the Trans-world Muslim University was first proposed by Maulana Showkat Shah, the former JAH president who was assassinated by a radical group last year. Malik said some unknown people had "ill-informed" New Delhi that the university would be a breeding ground for terrorists and hardliners. "We want to tell them that the doors of this university will be open to everyone irrespective of his religion, region, caste or colour," he said.
The JAH chief, who led around 50 party members and supporters during the rally, said the university would help boost the standard of education in the state.
During the rally, protesters raised slogans against the state coalition government and state president of Congress party Saif-ud-din Soz.
