Last year, money laundering case was registered against top officials of now banned PFI as the centre declared it as a unlawful organisation. Since then several ED and NIA have raided several PFI leaders.
“The Popular Front of India and its associates or affiliates or fronts have been found to be involved in serious offences, including terrorism and its financing, targeted gruesome killings, disregarding the constitutional set up of the country, disturbing public order etc. which are prejudicial to the integrity, security and sovereignty of the country. Therefore, the Ministry of Home Affairs found it necessary to curb the nefarious activities of the organization and has hence declared the Popular Front of India along with its associates or affiliates or fronts as an “unlawful association” under the provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967,” the Centre said in a release.
