Home Ministry bans several outfits in J&K under UAPA

Hours before the dates for the Lok Sabha polls were announced, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Saturday banned the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Freedom League and all factions of the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples League associated with the separatist conglomerate Hurriyat Conference under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).

The ban on the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), which is led by imprisoned terror accused Yasin Malik, has been extended by another five years.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah posted on X, “The Modi government has designated the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Freedom League (JKPFL) as an ‘unlawful association’ for five years. The organisation threatened India’s integrity by promoting, aiding and abetting the secession of Jammu and Kashmir through terrorism.”
