The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) imposed ban on JeI in 2019 , post Article 370 roll back, terming the organization as \u201canti national.\u201d Talking to reporters here, JeI\u2019s panel head Ghulam Qadir Wani of Gussu, Pulwama, said that the members of JeI casted their votes in the recent Lok Sabha polls.
Wani was seen casting vote in the May 13 polls for Srinagar Lok Sabha polls.
\u201cWe will try to contest polls in the upcoming Assembly polls slated for September this year,\u201d said Wani while talking to media persons, adding that JeI always believed in democratic process. \u201cWe will field our own candidates if Centre revokes ban on us. There are other issues but revocation of ban is the first pre-condition to join the poll fray,\u201d Wani said.
He said socio-religious reforms would be the poll plank of JeI besides drug abuse and growing immortality.
Wani said a crucial session of JeI\u2019s Majlis-e Shoora was held and a decision was taken to contest polls. \u201cWe never changed our stance as we belive in democracy, \u201d he said. In reply to query, why JeI members boycotted polls in the past, he said when nobody voted, JeI followed suit. \u201cThere was a pressure and threat as well, \u201che said.
