ORGANISATIONS BANNED UNDER POTA

LOK SABHA

 

Thirty Two organizations have so far been declared as terrorist organizations under the Prevention of Terrorism Act, 2002. The said organizations are believed to be involved in terrorism in various parts of the country.

The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu has brought it to the notice of the Deputy Prime Minister that action might have to be taken against Shri Vaiko (MDMK leader as well as Member of Parliament) under the provisions of Prevention of Terrorism Act, 2002 since he had allegedly professed his allegiance to the LTTE at a public meeting of his party.

Since Public Order is a State subject, action in the matter lied with the State Government of Tamil Nadu.

This was stated in the Lok Sabha today by the Minister of State for Home, Shri Ch. Vidyasagar Rao in reply to a written question. The following is the list of organizations declared unlawful under the POTA:
