The Union Home Ministry has prolonged the ban on Jammu and Kashmir Jamaat-e-Islami for another five years, citing its involvement in activities threatening national security. Home Minister Amit Shah emphasizes zero-tolerance against terrorism and separatism, warning of severe consequences for those posing a threat. The initial declaration of Jamaat-e-Islami as an 'Unlawful Association' on February 28, 2019, led to the ban on its activities, accused of promoting separatism. The extension aligns with government efforts to curb such activities post Article 370 abrogation, emphasizing a tough stance on groups sympathetic to separatism in Jammu and Kashmir.
