**Press Release**
Date: 3rd March 2025
It is with deep regret and disappointment that I, Tahir Fayaz, Chairman of the District Body of Srinagar and Raja Shafeeq Khan announce the current situation regarding the mediation efforts between two factions led by Dheeraj and Shaukat Khan for the betterment of all REK members across Jammu & Kashmir.
A few days ago, I reached out to both leaders, Dheeraj and Shaukat Khan, in an attempt to unite their factions and create a cohesive force for the betterment of our community. During these discussions, both leaders agreed to work together, voluntarily and united, in the best interests of all REKs. Dheeraj even expressed willingness to meet Shaukat Khan and other members from Srinagar in Jammu today to resolve any differences.
However, it is with great regret that I inform you that, at the last moment, on the afternoon of 2nd March, Dheeraj contacted me to inform that certain members of his group were unwilling to work together, unitedly and voluntarily. This sudden change in stance is truly unfortunate and disheartening, especially as we were on the verge of concluding our probationary period after dedicating ourselves to this cause and risking our lives.
It is with a heavy heart that I Mudasir Amin (President District Srinagar REK Teachers) announce from today, 3rd March 2025, the District Srinagar Body will operate under the leadership of AJKRKTF, led by Jinab Shaukat Khan Sahab. I sincerely hope that all my brothers and sisters from District Srinagar will continue to support and cooperate in this new direction, as we strive for progress and unity in these trying times.
Let us all remember that the goal remains the betterment of our community, and I hope that with this decision, we can continue to work towards that goal with integrity, solidarity, and dedication.
