The separatist organisation 'Muslim League Jammu Kashmir' has been declared an 'unlawful association' under the anti-terror law Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), as announced by Union Home Minister Amit Shah today.
The group, led by Masarat Alam, interim chairman of All India Hurriyat Conference, is accused of engaging in "anti-national and secessionist activities in J&K, supporting terrorist activities, and inciting people to establish Islamic rule in J&K," according to the Home Minister’s statement on X.
He added that anyone acting against India's unity, sovereignty and integrity will not be spared. "The PM @narendramodi 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," the Home Minister said.
Muslim League Jammu Kashmir
Muslim League Jammu Kashmir-Masarat Alam faction (MLJK-MA) is a separatist organisation, currently led by Masarat Alam, the successor to the late Syed Ali Shah Geelani and the incumbent Hurriyat Conference chairman.
Alam has been in jail for nearly 13 years.
In 2010, Alam gained attention for issuing calendars of protests, leading to his subsequent detention under the Jammu and Kashmir Public Safety Act (PSA) after an extended pursuit.
