Srinagar, April 13: A tribunal has upheld the decision of the Union government to declare the Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP), founded by Shabir Ahmad Shah, an ‘unlawful association’ under the anti-terror Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), a media report said.
The UAPA tribunal’s order quoted a chargesheet filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in 2019 which stated that, in 2016, the “Pakistan Government” had sent ₹1.1 crore to Shah to be distributed among the people who attacked security forces with stones after Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani was killed in an encounter, reported The Hindu.
