Hizbul Mujahideen

Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) is an extremist group operating in Kashmir for separating it from India and merging it with Pakistan. The organisation was formed in 1989 in the backdrop of escalated violence in the Kashmir Valley. Recently, Canada became one among the few countries to designate this extremist faction as a terrorist group. The others include the United States, the European Union and India.
