Hurriyat groups may be banned under UAPA for funding terror


Date:- 23 Aug 2021


The government is actively considering banning both factions of the Hurriyat Conference under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) after a probe by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) revealed that outfits linked with the separatist conglomerate raised money to fund terror in Jammu and Kashmir.

Officials in the security establishment said the NIA probe into MBBS seats being allotted to Kashmiri students by institutions in Pakistan revealed that the money collected from aspirants by some outfits that are part of the Hurriyat Conference was diverted for terror activities in J&K — a sufficient ground for banning the Hurriyat factions under Section 3(1) of the UAPA. “If the Centre is of the opinion that any association is or has become an unlawful association, it may, by notification in the Official Gazette, declare such association to be unlawful,” they pointed out.
