After a week of raids and arrests, the government of India has invoked Section 3 of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act’s Section 3, to ban the contentious Popular Front of India (PFI). This makes the organisation a “terrorist organisation”. What does it mean for the members and organisations associated with PFI, an organisation that despite having a contentious past has been known to be involved in welfare, social and educational activities involving Muslim populations across India. Incidentally, PFI, which purports itself to be a "neo-social movement committed to empower people to ensure justice, freedom and security”, had led to protests in 2012 against the UAPA.
