| [OneIndia] Pakistain's Canadian Embassy had replied to a tweet of the Popular Front of India prior to the ban that was imposed on Wednesday. The now deleted screenshot of the reply to a tweet has gone viral on the social media. Reports said that the verified handle of the Pakistain Consulate General Vancouver replied to a tweet of the banned PFI and tagged the UN Human Rights, Pakistain foreign office. It appeared to be a possible attempt to amplify the PFI's tweet. The PFI before the ban had called for support during the second mega crackdown by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).Massive arrests are going on in the BJP-ruled states in the name of preventive custody. This is nothing but prevention of the right to democratic protests against the Central government's witch-hunt targeting PFI is quite natural and expected under this autocratic system, the PFI had tweeted. The viral screenshot shows the Twitter handle of the Pakistain Consulate General Vancouver tagging international handles in its reply. Images of the tweets can be seen at the link. The decision to ban the outfit was taken after two back-to-back mega nation wide raids on the outfit. The government took the decision to ban the outfit for five years after it was found that it was indulging in alleged terror funding. |
