The High Court of Karnataka has u🙈pheld the recent ban imposed by the C𒉰entral government on the Popular Front of India (PFI) for its involvement in anti-national activities.

A single judge bench of𒈔 Justice M Nagaprasanna on Wednesday pronounced 💛the judgment. The ban was challenged by Nasir Ali, a resident of Bengaluru and the state president of the proscribed outfit.

The Central government had issued an order banning the organisation and its allied outfits for a period of five years with immediate effect on September 28. The Centre took this action after raids on t♔he offic🍨es of PFI and the residences of its members across the country.

It c𝓀ame in the wake of allegations that the banned Student Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) besides PFI have close links with many terrorist organ🍸isations.

The government order had said that some of PFI's founding members are the leaders of the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and PFI has linkages with Jamat-ul-M🔯ujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), both of which are proscribed organisations.

Senior advocate Jayakumar Patil, who argued for PFI, had submitted that declaring it illegal was an anti-constitutional move. He said that the order di𝓀d not specify reasons for 💧declaring it as an illegal organisation.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, who argued for the Central government, said that the PFI was carrying out an🍸ti-national acts and it had joined hands with terrorist organisations carrying out violent activities in the country and ab🍒etting such acts.

The court was tꦿold that members of the organisation were creating an atmosphere of fear in the nation.
