JKLF at forefront of separatist activities in J&K was responsible for murders of Kashmiri Pandits in 1989 triggering their exodus, Gauba said. Yasin Malik-led JKLF banned by central govt under the anti-terror law, officials said. This comes amid an intensified crackdown on terrorists across India in wake of Pulwama attack. The outfit has been banned for alleged promotion of secessionist activities in Jammu and Kashmir, they said.

They said the organisation has been banned under various provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. Its chief Yasin Malik is under arrest and at present lodged in Jammu's Kot Balwal jail.
