Because the Hurriyat Conference is banned under UAPAMirwaiz Umar Farooq, the Chief cleric of Kashmir, was reportedly pressured by authorities to remove the tag 'Chairman of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference' from his verified X profile because the Hurriyat and its constituent groups—including his own Awami Action Committee—have been banned under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). He described the situation as a 'Hobson’s choice', fearing his account would be taken down otherwise. This incident occurred amid severely restricted public communication avenues in Kashmir post–Article 370 abrogation. He was subsequently placed under house arrest and barred from leading Friday prayers at Jama Masjid, Srinagar. The move sparked criticism from political leaders like Mehbooba Mufti, who called Hurriyat an 'idea, not an individual'.
