The central government of India has recently imposed a five-year ban on the Awami Action Committee (AAC) and Jammu and Kashmir Ittihadul Muslimeen (JKIM) for allegedly engaging in anti-India propaganda and advocating for secessionism in the region. The Ministry of Home Affairs utilized the Unlawful Activities Act to label these groups as unlawful due to their alleged support for separatist movements and involvement in fundraising for terrorist activities. This decision comes amidst ongoing efforts to maintain peace and security in the Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
