Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad: PFI’s Role in Violence Against CAA Come To Light in UP: Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said that the Popular Front of India (PFI) is playing a role in the violence during the protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). He said that the Union Home Ministry will decide on the action against this organization on the basis of evidence. Ravi Shankar said that apart from the violence, the wires of the PFI are also connecting with the banned organization, Student Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). In view of this evidence, the Ministry of Home Affairs will decide to take action against the PFI.


Earlier, Uttar Pradesh Director General of Police (DGP) OP Singh had questioned the role of PFI in the state’s violence on 19 December in protests against the CAA. He also wrote a letter to the Ministry of Home Affairs to ban this organization. UP Police arrested three members of the PFI, including the state president, in the case of violence. PFI is a Delhi based organization, which was established on 22 November 2006.

Ravi Shankar Prasad lashed out at opposition parties for supporting anti-CAA protesters. He also assured that the CAA would not take away the citizenship of any Indian. Ravi Shankar said, “I support CAA. Some people are opposing it without understanding the new law. Congress is not ready to understand this, which is more surprising. The CPI (M), CPI and other left parties deliberately do not want to understand this law. This will not apply to any citizen of the country. It neither grants citizenship to any Indian nor takes away their citizenship. ”He said the motion passed by the Kerala Legislative Assembly against the CAA is unconstitutional. The CAA has passed Parliament and all states are bound to implement it.
