NIA uncovers PFI's efforts to regroup via foreign funding and social media

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has conducted raids in connection with the Popular Front of India (PFI), revealing ongoing activities despite its ban under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in 2022. The PFI is reportedly attempting to regroup through foreign funding and social media campaigns aimed at inciting communal tensions. Intelligence agencies have identified operational modules abroad, particularly in Gulf nations, involved in fundraising and potentially reviving the PFI under a new identity. The government continues to monitor these developments closely, recognizing the threat posed by the PFI’s attempts to operate similarly to networks like the Islamic State, which could jeopardize India’s national security and social harmony.
