India bans Muslim group PFI, accuses it of ‘terrorism’
Yesterday the big crackdown, today the five year ban. By Sunday, no doubt, they will reappear under yet another name.
[Dawn] India declared the Popular Front of India (PFI)
…the latest identity of Pakistan sock puppet National Development Front (NDF) and the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). They’re fond of IEDs, swords, Al Qaeda and Taliban propaganda, the perverse pleasures of Love Jihad, and have surprisingly well-trained connections with jihadis in Bangladesh and Pakistan...
Moslem group and its affiliates unlawful on Wednesday, accusing them of involvement in terrorism and banning them for five years, after authorities detained more than 100 PFI members this month.

The PFI said it had dissolved itself and asked its members to stop their activities.

"As law-abiding citizens of our great country, the organization accepts the decision of the Ministry of Home Affairs," the PFI’s branch in Kerala state, where it has a big presence, said in a statement.

On Tuesday, the PFI denied accusations of violence and anti-national activities when its offices were raided and dozens of its members were detained in various states.

The home ministry, in announcing the ban, said in a statement the PFI and its affiliates had "been found to be involved in serious offences, including terrorism and its financing, targeted gruesome killings, disregarding the constitutional set up".

The PFI’s now-banned student wing, the Campus Front of India (CFI), called the government action a political vendetta and propaganda. It denied the accusations of involvement in terrorism.

The PFI has supported causes such as protests against a 2019 citizenship law that many Moslems deem discriminatory, as well as protests in the southern state of Karnataka this year demanding the right for Moslem women students to wear the hijab in class.

The ban is likely to stir an outcry among opponents of the government, which retains broad public support and a comfortable majority in parliament eight years after Modi first became prime minister.

’RUTHLESSLY SUPPRESSED’
The Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), which works with the PFI on some issues but was not included in the ban, said the government had struck a blow against democracy and human rights
One man's rights are another man's existential threat.
"Freedom of speech, protests and organizations have been ruthlessly suppressed by the regime against the basic principles of the Indian constitution," the SDPI said in a statement.
The SDPI is apparently the political wing of the PFI.
Some SDPI office were raided and some of its members were detained this month.

The government said in a notification it had banned the PFI and affiliates CFI, Rehab India Foundation, All India Imams Council, National Confederation of Human Rights Organisation, National Women’s Front, Junior Front, Empower India Foundation and Rehab Foundation, Kerala.

The government said it found a "number of instances of international linkages of PFI with global terrorist groups", adding that some of its members had joined turban Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group and participated in "terror activities" in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Yet another feeder organization for International Jihad, Inc.
India has been the victim of some major turban attacks over the past two decades.

The PFI came together in late 2006 and was launched formally the next year with the merger of three organizations based in south India. It calls itself a "social movement striving for total empowerment" on its website.

PFI banned: A demand that began in 2010 comes into force in 2022
[OneIndia] The culprits were the Popular Front of India. The government at that time said that they were aware of a local Dar-ul-Khada
...sharia court paralleling India’s civil courts...
set up by the Popular Front of India which was functioning to resolve civil disputes.

Document to make India an Islamic State among other material recovered during raid on PFI
[OneIndia] From the UP leadership the NIA seized pen drives containing videos relating to the Islamic State and Ghazwat-ul-Hind.
Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind is an Al-Qaeda-affiliated Islamist militant group active in Kashmir..
The National Investigation Agency which carried out the raids along with the Enforcement Directorate seized incriminating material including bomb making manuals. The agencies in a note said that it had seized hundreds of incriminating materials. It listed a brochure and a CD related to Mission 2047. This was a document containing material to covert India into an Islamic State by 2047. This was seized from the vice-president of the PFI Maharashtra.

The NIA also said that the PFI and its various front organizations had a presence in over 17 states in the country [and] over 1,300 criminal cases had been registered by Police and NIA against cadres of PFI and its front organizations in different states.

The NIA and ED carried out raids across the country in the past two weeks. Over 300 arrests were carried out following the raids.
