Hours after the Union government banned the Popular Front of India and its associate outfits, the PFI on Wednesday announced the disbanding of the organisation. In a statement, PFI state general secretary A Abdul Sattar said the organisation was disbanded after the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) issued a notification banning it. “As law-abiding citizens of the country, we accept the decision of the Home Ministry,” he added. But as law-abiding citizens of our great country, the organisation accepts the decision of the Ministry of Home Affairs. The ban came a day after the second nationwide crackdown on the radical outfit in five days with police teams across seven states conducting raids on Tuesday and detaining or arresting more than 270 people with alleged links to the radical outfit.
