Centre bans Popular Front of India and eight frontal outfits (Telegraph India)

Charges include terrorism, terror funding, militancy and radicalisation of 'a particular section of the society'

The official who explained the consequences of the ban said the home ministry on Wednesday issued another order empowering the state governments to identify places associated with the PFI and its front organisations where unlawful activities take place. The home ministry said the PFI also had links with global terrorist outfits like the Islamic State, and had “participated in terror activities in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan”. The fronts, the ministry said, functioned as “roots and capillaries through which the PFI is fed and strengthened”. A former Intelligence Bureau chief questioned the timing of the ban. “Section 10 of the UAPA criminalises membership of a banned organisation. It is accused by critics of being a “radical” Islamist organisation.
