PFI Ban: Twitter account of the group and its members taken down

New Delhi: After the center outlawed the Popular Front of India (PFI) on Wednesday, under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), the group has had its official Twitter account blocked in the nation. The account has been blocked in India, according to Twitter, “in response to a court demand.”

Due to their “links” with international terrorist organizations like ISIS, the Union home ministry issued a notification late on Tuesday night banning PFI and several of its affiliates.

Whereas, the center is of the firm opinion that it is necessary to declare PFI and its associates illegal with immediate effect in light of the above circumstances, as a result, in exercising the authority granted by the proviso to sub-section (3) of section 3 of the aforementioned act, declares it to be so, according to the notification.
