On 5th February 2025, Pakistan-supported terrorist groups—Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM)—organised a gathering to observe the ‘Kashmir Solidarity Day & Al-Aqsa Flood’ conference at Shaheed Sabir Stadium in Rawalakot, Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). The observation of the ‘Kashmir Solidarity Day’ is Pakistan’s propaganda tool to push the anti-Bharat agenda. In the gathering, alongside LeT and JeM top commanders, the presence of one of the key Hamas representatives in Iran—Dr. Khalid Al-Qadoumi has raised concerns among Bharat’s security community. This write-up discusses the event that took place on 05th February and presents an analytical viewpoint on whether Bharat should consider banning Hamas as a terrorist organisation under Section 35, first schedule of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act [UA(P)A], 1967.
