And whereas, MCJK-B is involved in promoting, aiding and abetting the secession of Jammu and Kashmir from

India by involving itself in anti-national and subversive activities; sowing seeds of dis-affection amongst people; exhorting

people to destabilise law and order; encouraging the use of armed struggle to separate Jammu and Kashmir; and

promoting hatred against established Government;

And, whereas, the Central Government is of the opinion that if there is no immediate curb or control of unlawful

of the country;

(ii) continue advocating the secession of Jammu and Kashmir form the Union of India while disputing its

accession to the Union of India; and

(iii) continue propagating false narrative and anti-national sentiments among the people of Jammu and Kashmir

with the intention to cause disaffection against India and disrupt public order;

And, whereas, the Central Government for the above-mentioned reasons is firmly of the opinion that having regard

to the activities of the Muslim Conference Jammu and Kashmir (Bhat faction), it is necessary to declare the Muslim

Conference Jammu and Kashmir (Bhat faction) (MCJK-B) as an ‘unlawful association’ with immediate effect;

Now, Therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (1) of the section 3 of the Unlawful Activities

Kashmir (Bhat faction) (MCJK-B) as an unlawful association;

The Central Government, having regard to the above circumstances, is of firm opinion that it is

necessary to declare the Muslim Conference Jammu and Kashmir (Bhat faction) (MCJK-B) as an ‘unlawful

association’ with immediate effect, and accordingly, in exercise of the powers conferred by the proviso
