Karachi [Pakistan], July 1 (ANI): Pakistan has banned the Tehreek-e-Azadi Jammu and Kashmir (TAJK), which was a rebranding of Hafiz Saeed-led Jamaat-ul-Da'awa (JuD) after he was put under house arrest and a crackdown was launched against the outfit.

TAJK's name was mentioned in the National Counter Terrorism Authority's (NACTA) list of proscribed organisations that also mentions that the outfit was banned on June 8, 2017, reports the Express Tribune
