The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday questioned the head of Kashmir’s largest Islamic seminary in an alleged terror-funding case. He faced questioning for hours and has since returned to Darul Uloom,” an aide of Qasmi told The Telegraph. Raheemiyah is not only the biggest Islamic seminary in Kashmir but is also linked to the Deoband, which has a history of supporting Indian nationalism. They have arrested or raided homes or institutions of Islamic figures from different schools of thought — including the Jamat-e-Islami, Ahle Hadees or Barelvis. Officials said Qasmi was questioned in connection with the alleged funding activities of Rajouri-based Al Huda Education Trust.
