New Delhi: ‘Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front’ (JKLF), led by separatist leader Yasin Malik, has been declared an ‘unlawful association’ for a further period of five years by Narendra Modi government.
“The banned outfit continues to engage in activities that foment terror and secessionism in Jammu and Kashmir. Anyone found challenging the security, sovereignty and integrity of the nation will face harsh legal consequences,” Union Home Minister Amit Shah said.

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in 2019 had banned Malik’s outfit under the anti-terror law, Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 (UAPA).
The government had banned Jamat-e-Islami (JeI-J&K) under Section 3(1) of the UAPA, sometime back.
