India's Ministry of Home Affairs banned the Jammu & Kashmir National Front (JKNF), an organization affiliated with the hardline Hurriyat Conference, under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for five years. The JKNF, led by Nayeem Ahmad Khan, has been accused of engaging in activities detrimental to India's security and sovereignty, including supporting terrorist activities, secessionism, and anti-India propaganda. The ban aims to address the organization's involvement in mobilizing violent protests, providing logistical support to terrorists, and undermining democratic processes in the region.
