New Delhi: The Centre banned the Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) on Thursday. It was declared to be an ‘unlawful association’ under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).

This organization headed by separatist leader Shabir Ahmad Shah was banned for five years for its “anti-India” activities.
