Union Home Minister Amit Shah on March 25 praised the decision of two Hurriyat-affiliated groups to break away from separatism in J&K, describing it as a “significant victory” for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a peaceful and united India.
Amit Shah’s remarks came shortly after these two organisations, previously aligned with the Hurriyat Conference, announced their decision to sever all ties with separatism in J&K.
“Separatism has become a thing of the past in Kashmir. The Modi government’s unifying policies have driven separatism out of J&K. Two groups linked to Hurriyat have officially broken away from separatism,” Amit Shah shared on his ‘X’ handle.

He welcomed this move as a step towards strengthening India’s unity, urging other such groups to abandon separatism. “This is a major victory for PM Shri @narendramodi Ji’s vision of a developed, peaceful, and united Bharat.”
The decision by the two Hurriyat-linked organisations marks a significant shift in the political landscape of J&K. In recent years, the government has introduced a range of measures to curb separatist activities, including strict enforcement of anti-terror laws and socio-economic reforms. Officials view this development as a key moment in J&K’s evolving political scenario, signalling the potential for further integration and peace in the region.
