A day after the Jammu and Kashmir home department banned 25 books for "promoting false narratives and secessionism", police conducted raids on shops in the Valley on Thursday to identify and seize the banned publications.
"The objective of the operation was to identify, seize, and forfeit any literature that propagates or systematically disseminates false narratives, promotes secessionist ideologies, or otherwise poses a threat to the sovereignty and unity of India," a police spokesperson said, adding the raids were conducted under the provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
