In a significant move, the Modi government has declared the ‘Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (Mohd. Yasin Malik faction)’ as an ‘Unlawful Association’ for a further period of five years. This decision comes in light of the organization’s alleged involvement in fomenting terror and secessionism in the Union territory.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced the ban, which also extends to the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Freedom League and four factions of the J-K Peoples League. These organizations, including the one led by incarcerated terror accused Yasin Malik, have been accused of promoting, aiding, and abetting secessionism and terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
“The Modi government will remain unsparing to people and organizations involved in terror activities,” stated Minister Shah in response to the ban. He emphasized that anyone found challenging the security, sovereignty, and integrity of the nation would face harsh legal consequences.
The decision to ban these organizations underscores the government’s commitment to combating terrorism and ensuring the safety and security of the region. It sends a clear message that actions promoting violence and separatism will not be tolerated, and those responsible will be held accountable under the law.
In addition to the ban on the JKLF (Yasin Malik faction) and the JK Peoples Freedom League, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs also banned four factions of the J-K Peoples League – JKPL (Mukhtar Ahmed Waza), JKPL (Bashir Ahmad Tota), JKPL (Ghulam Mohammad Khan), and the Yaqoob Sheikh-led JKPL (Aziz Sheikh).
