New Delhi: A faction of Muslim League Jammu Kashmir, led by separatist leader MasaratAlamBhat, was on Wednesday declared a banned organisation by the government under the stringent anti-terror law.
The ban comes as a response to the outfit’s involvement in anti-national and secessionist activities in Jammu and Kashmir, with the intent to create a reign of terror in the country, the Union Home Ministry said.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah, while announcing the ban under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, emphasised that the Modi government’s message is clear that those who act against the unity, sovereignty, and integrity of the nation will face the full wrath of the law and will not be spared.
“The Muslim League Jammu Kashmir (MasaratAlam faction) is declared as an ‘Unlawful Association’ under UAPA. This organisation and its members are involved in anti-national and secessionist activities in J&K, supporting terrorist activities, and inciting people to establish Islamic rule in J&K,” Shah said in a post on ‘X’.
