The PFI, which has been charged with political killings in Kerala, is likely to be labelled a proscribed organisation by the Centre soon following its alleged involvement not just in sporadic anti-India activities, but its role in fomenting violence across Uttar Pradesh over the last three weeks. The state administration in late 2013 stated that the group had been plotting various anti-India activities. While the PFI stated that the searches were “undemocratic", intelligence inputs from 2017 hinted otherwise. “On several occasions we have flagged the PFI’s activities as suspicious and they have been under the scanner on several occasions. Police entered the campus without permission of the university authorities and inflicted atrocities without reason."
