"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," he said in his post.
Moreover, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) also declared four factions of the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples League—namely, JKPL (Mukhtar Ahmed Waza), JKPL (Bashir Ahmad Tota), JKPL (Ghulam Mohammad Khan), and JKPL (Aziz Sheikh) led by Yaqoob Sheikh—as 'Unlawful Associations'.
These organisations were involved in inciting terror and abetting secessionism in Jammu and Kashmir.
"The Modi government will remain unsparing to people and organisations involved in terror activities and is committed to suppressing terrorism ruthlessly," the Home Minister added.
