Engaging in Subversive and Violent Activities

One of the primary reasons behind this decision is the NLFT and ATTF’s persistent engagement in subversive and violent activities.

This connection has raised concerns about the potential collaboration between these groups to further their unlawful agendas. Reports of civilian and police personnel casualties linked to these organizations have also surfaced, intensifying the need for stringent action.

Ensuring Public Safety

This decisive move by the Central government has received widespread support from various quarters, with many believing that it is a necessary step to ensure public safety and maintain law and order in the region. The ban on these organizations aims to curb their ability to carry out illegal activities and prevent further harm to the people and security forces.

Conclusion: A Bold Step Towards Security

In conclusion, the Central government’s decision to ban the NLFT and ATTF, along with their affiliated factions, wings, and front organizations under the UAPA law, reflects its commitment to national security and public safety. This bold step is aimed at curbing subversive activities and preventing further violence in the region. The ban sends a clear message that unlawful activities will not be tolerated, and those engaging in such acts will face severe consequences.
