Separatists on Saturday said the Centre's decision to ban Jammu & Kashmir Liberatation Front headed by Yasin Malik was "undemocratic" and "political vendetta".
Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL), an amalgam of separatist groups, called for a general strike on Sunday to protest against the ban imposed by the Government on the JKLF.
"The GOI's decision of banning the JKLF for five years is highly authoritarian, autocratic and pure political vendetta," the JRL said in a statement. The JRL urged people of Kashmir to observe a complete shutdown on March 24.
