Falah-e-Aam, which means “Welfare for All,” is a trust set up by Jamaat-e-Islami, which was banned in 2019 but schools continued to run by the trust.Before 1972, Jamaat-e-Islami was operating schools, which it later handed over to the trust.
Government in the order says that the validity of the Managing Committee of 215 such schools has expired/have been reported adversely upon by the Intelligence Agencies.
