Centre may ban all Hurriyat factions for financing terror

Centre may soon ban Hurriyat Conference as an “unlawful organisation’ under the UAPA, citing the alleged involvement of its constituents and leaders in terror financing in Jammu & Kashmir. Sources said the home ministry would take a final call on outlawing all factions of the Hurriyat Conference — including the moderate Hurriyat and Tehreek-e-Hurriyat, once led by late hardline leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani — under Section 3(1) of UAPA.
