    Government can designate individuals as

    “terrorists” under which of the following acts?
    A National Security Act, 1980 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Prevention of Terrorism Act, 2002 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Amendment Act, 2019 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D All of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Only organisations can be designated as terrorist and not individuals Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) can designate individuals as “terrorists” under the amended anti-terror law that was passed by the Parliament in 2019.   The Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), enacted in 1967, was first amended in 2004, 2008 and 2013.   The UAPA as amended in August 2019 gave the MHA the power to designate individuals as terrorists.
