  • On Wednesday, Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) founder Hafiz Muhammad Saeed were declared individual terrorists by the Centre under the new anti-terror law.

    The announcement comes nearly a month after the Parliament approved an amendment to The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Amendment or UAPA Act, 1967.

    Further, Mumbai terror attack mastermind Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi and underworld don Dawood Ibrahim were also declared terrorists.

  • To note, these are the first designations of amended UAPA Act. As per the older legislation, only organizations could be declared terror outfits, and not individuals.

    However, after the amendment, the government can declare an individual, suspected to have terror links, a terrorist, and impose a travel ban.

    Additionally, the amendment also authorizes the government to seize properties linked to a terror investigation.
