Four factions of Jammu and Kashmir Peoples League namely JKPL (Mukhta Ahmed Waza), JKPL (Bashir Ahmad Tota), JKPL (Ghulam Mohammad Khan alias Sopori), and JKPL (Aziz Sheikh) led by Yaqoob Sheikh are also named in the list.
The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), 1967, is India’s primary anti-terrorism law which allows the government to declare organizations as terrorist groups or unlawful associations, enabling authorities to take action against them. The Act has been amended multiple times to strengthen its provisions, especially after the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
The designation of an organization as a terrorist group has serious consequences, including banning its operations in India, freezing its financial assets, preventing its members from raising funds or recruiting, and legal action against those associated with the group.
The Indian government periodically updates the list to counter evolving threats from militant, insurgent, and extremist groups operating within and outside India.
