Tehreek-e-Hurriyat declared 'unlawful association' under UAPA- Amit Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah declared Tehreek-e-Hurriyat, a separatist political party founded by Syed Ali Shah Geelani, as an 'Unlawful Association' under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) on Sunday. The decision follows the organization's alleged involvement in activities aimed at the separation of Jammu and Kashmir from India and the establishment of Islamic rule. The decision is a response to the party's alleged engagement in prohibited activities advocating the separation of Jammu and Kashmir from India and the establishment of Islamic rule.

The organization, long under scrutiny, is accused of spreading anti-India propaganda and participating in terror-related activities to fuel secessionism in the sensitive region of Jammu and Kashmir. The move underscores the government's commitment to curbing activities that threaten national security.

Amit Shah emphasized the government's zero-tolerance policy against terrorism under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership. He asserted that any individual or organization involved in anti-India activities would face immediate action. The declaration aligns with the government's commitment to maintaining peace and security in the region.
