How has the government addressed the issue of terrorism in India

The government has banned Tehreek-e-Hurriyat, an organization previously headed by Syed Ali Shah Geelani.
The government of India has undertaken several measures to address the issue of terrorism in the country. One of these measures was the banning of Tehreek-e-Hurriyat, an organization previously headed by Syed Ali Shah Geelani. Here are some of the actions taken:
  • The government identified organizations and individuals suspected of being involved in terrorist activities, such as Tehreek-e-Hurriyat.
  • Tehreek-e-Hurriyat was banned under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, which empowers the government to ban organizations believed to be involved in unlawful activities.
  • The ban on Tehreek-e-Hurriyat means that the organization's activities and its members' assets are frozen, making it more difficult for them to carry out acts of terrorism.
  • This step is part of a broader strategy to combat terrorism and ensure the safety and security of the country's citizens.
  • The Indian government continues to work closely with international partners to share intelligence and cooperate in the fight against terrorism.
These measures aim to disrupt terrorist networks, prevent the spread of extremist ideology, and maintain law and order in India.
