NEW DELHI: Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced that the organization 'Muslim League Jammu and Kashmir' has been banned under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). The action belongs to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs. The explanation is that the action is because it is clear that the organization supported secessionist and anti-national activities.
'This organization 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.
The Narendra Modi government's message is loud and clear that anyone acting against the unity, sovereignty, and integrity of our nation will not be spared and face the full wrath of the law." Amit Shah noted on X.
The ‘Muslim League Jammu Kashmir (Masarat Alam faction)’/MLJK-MA is declared as an 'Unlawful Association' under UAPA.
