Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (Yasin Malik)
- Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (Yasin Malik)
The Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (Yasin Malik) is a break away faction of the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front, led by Yasin Malik. It is a secular separatist movement, demanding a united Kashmir independent from both Pakistan and India. Although previously a militant organization, since 1995 it has renounced all violence and called for strictly peaceful methods to achieve its aims. [cite news

Although it is a breakaway faction, it enjoys more popularity in Kashmir than the original JKLF faction led by Amanullah Khan. However in 2005 the JKLF lead by Yasin Malik received a major setback when its senior leaders differed [http://www.jammu-kashmir.com/archives/archives2005/kashmir20051228a.html] from Yasin Malik's meeting [http://www.hindu.com/2006/01/25/stories/2006012506451400.htm] with the prime minister of India and parted ways and announced Farooq Siddiqi, (Farooq Papa) [http://www.jammu-kashmir.com/archives/archives2005/kashmir20051223c.html] as its new chairman. Since then the popularity of JKLF headed by Yasin Malik has declined.
