MEANING OF PFI IS POPOULAR FRONT OF INDIA
The Popular Front of India (PFI) is a Indian Muslim political organisation, that engages in a radical and exclusivist style of Muslim minority politics. Formed to counter Hindutva groups, it was banned by the Indian Ministry of Home Affairs under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) on 28 September 2022 for a period of 5 years.
PFI was founded in 2006 with the merger of the Karnataka Forum for Dignity (KFD) and the National Development Front (NDF). The organisation described itself as a “neo-social movement committed to empower people to ensure justice, freedom and security”. It advocates for Muslim reservations. In 2012, the organisation protested against the UAPA law’s alleged use to detain innocent citizens.
