Centre bans Yasin Malik’s JKLF in fresh crackdown on J&K separatists

The Yasin Malik-led Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) was banned by the Centre under anti-terror law on Friday.

Home Secretary Rajiv Gauba said JKLF (Yasin faction) is declared an unlawful organization and said the ban is in continuation with the government's move of zero tolerance against secessionist groups “JKLF has spearheaded the secessionist ideology in Jammu and Kashmir and poses a threat to the sovereignty of the country,” he said.
