Centre declares National Liberation Front of Tripura, All Tripura Tiger Force and their factions as unlawful associations under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act

The Central Government has declared the National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT), All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF) and their factions as unlawful associations under the Unlawful Activites (Prevention) Act. The Home Ministry has banned these organisations for five years. The Ministry said, the government is of the opinion that the activities of NLFT and ATTF are detrimental to the sovereignty and integrity of India and that they are unlawful associations.

The Ministry said, these factions have been engaging in subversive and violent



activities, thereby undermining the authority of the Government and spreading terror and violence among people for achieving their objectives. 

The Ministry added that if there is no immediate curb and control on these organisations, they will mobilise their cadres for escalating their secessionist, subversive, and violent activities. It added that they will also propagate anti-national activities in collusion with forces inimical to India’s sovereignty and national integrity.
