DELAYED AGAIN

At a time when Muslims across the country are up in arms against the CAA, a move to ban the PFI, which has a massive support base across the country, will be perceived as yet another anti-Muslim move and could invite further trouble.

Back in 2012, when the Kerala government had sought a ban on the PFI the Centre ignored the request, keeping in view the massive support base of the outfit.

It is learnt that though the proposal to ban the PFI was brought before the previous UPA government as well, each time it was deferred on one pretext or the other.

Before the CAA and the NRC, the organisation had started a campaign “for justice” after the Ayodhya verdict was delivered by the Supreme Court.
