MUZAFFARABAD: The Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) government has officially declared the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) a proscribed organisation, according to a notification issued by the Home Department.
The notification stated that organisations operating under the names “Jammu Kashmir Action Committee” and “Joint Awami Action Committee” have been placed in the First Schedule under the Azad Jammu and Kashmir Anti-Terrorism Act 2014.
It further confirmed that the decision to designate the group as a proscribed organisation was approved by the President of Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
According to the notification, authorities have found reasonable evidence suggesting that the organisation was involved in activities that could undermine peace and public safety.
It alleged that the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) was engaged in creating unrest and disturbing law and order in the region.
The government further stated that the organisation was involved in spreading fear among the public and creating a sense of insecurity within society.
The notification also accused the group of promoting hatred and attempting to disrupt state stability, adding that such activities were considered harmful to public order and peace in the region.

Earlier, the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) had announced a strike and long march on June 9, amid ongoing tensions over its demands and negotiations with the government.
According to officials, despite what they described as serious efforts by the government to engage in dialogue, the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) has maintained its protest call and adopted what authorities termed a rigid stance.
Government sources alleged that the committee is attempting to pressure the administration through street protests under the pretext of public issues, questioning the intent behind what they described as disruptive political activity.
While reiterating that peaceful protest is a democratic right, officials stressed that blocking roads and disrupting public life would not be permitted. They said all political stakeholders in AJK, including opposition parties, appear aligned against the politics of agitation.
Authorities further said that the resolutions of the All Parties Conference, later endorsed by the Azad Kashmir Assembly, reflect a broader democratic consensus. They warned that any attempt to disturb law and order would be dealt with strictly under the law.
