The Centre on Saturday notified the designation of 23 Pakistan-based operatives linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and other organisations as 'terrorists' under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), according to a government order.
The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 (37 of 1967) empowers the central government to add the name of an individual as designated terrorist if it believes that the individual is involved in terrorism.
