The banned outfit continues to engage in activities that foment terror and secessionism in Jammu and Kashmir.…
In 2019, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) had banned Yasin Malik's outfit under the anti-terror legislation, the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 (UAPA). Prior to this action, the government had also banned Jamat-e-Islami (JeI-J&K) under Section 3(1) of the UAPA.

The JKLF was similarly banned under the provisions of the UAPA, empowering the Centre to declare any association as unlawful by officially notifying it in the Official Gazette.
Amit Shah in another post on his official X handle stated that the centre has also designated "Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Freedom League" as an "unlawful association" for a five-year duration. He stated: "The organization threatened India's integrity by promoting, aiding and abetting the secession of Jammu and Kashmir through terrorism. The Modi government will remain unsparing to people and organizations involved in terror activities."
