Earlier, the Democratic freedom party JK headed by Shabir Shah and the Muslim League JK headed by Masarat Alam were declared as unlawful under the UAPA. Amit Shah declared the 'Muslim League Jammu Kashmir (Masarat Alam faction)' (MLJK-MA) as an 'Unlawful Association' under Section 3(1) of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) 1967.
The Muslim League Jammu Kashmir (Masarat Alam faction) has a history of involvement in anti-national and secessionist activities in Jammu and Kashmir, with its members supporting terrorist initiatives in India. Their objective involves inciting the populace to establish Islamic rule in the region, posing a threat to the sovereignty, security, and integrity of India, Shah said.
