PFI banned in 2022
Notably, the Islamist outfit PFI, known as Popular Front of India, was banned by the central government in September last year after it came under the scanner of the National Investigation Agency and the Enforcement Directorate. The organisation was banned for a period of five years for its alleged links with global terror groups and terror funding.
In the notification, the Centre said the PFI is involved in several criminal and terror cases and shows sheer disrespect towards the constitutional authority of the country with funds and ideological support from outside, it has become a major threat to the internal security of the country.
