and separatist groups fighting for this purpose by indulging in activities and articulations intended to disrupt the territorial

integrity of India;

(iii)

JeI is involved in anti-national and subversive activities in the country intended to cause disaffection;

And, whereas, the Central Government is of the opinion that if the unlawful activities of the JeI are not curbed and

to the activities of the JeI, it is necessary to declare the Jamaat-e-Islami, Jammu and Kashmir (JeI) as an ‘unlawful

(JeI) as an unlawful association.
