Government extends ban on Jamaat-e-Islami citing national security reasons Till

The Ministry of Home Affairs, led by Amit Shah, has extended the ban on Jamaat-e-Islami for another five years. This move aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s policy of zero tolerance towards terrorism and separatism.

Amit Shah announced the extension via a post on a microblogging site. He emphasized that the government remains committed to preserving the security, integrity, and sovereignty of the nation.

Jamaat-e-Islami was initially declared an ‘Unlawful Association’ on February 28, 2019. The decision to extend the ban comes as the organization is observed to continue activities deemed threatening to national security.

The post further asserts that anyone posing a threat to the nation’s security will face stringent measures. This extension underscores the government’s firm stance against activities that endanger the nation’s stability and unity.
