Govt bans Yasin Malik-led Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front

In a major crackdown on terror, the Centre banned Yasin Malik-led Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) under anti-terror law on Friday, officials said.

The outfit has been banned for alleged promotion of secessionist activities in Jammu and Kashmir, they said.

 

They said the organisation has been banned under various provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. Its chief Yasin Malik is under arrest and at present lodged in Jammu's Kot Balwal jail.
