The Popular Front of India (PFI) is a very dangerous organisation and some political parties are supporting it out of vested interest, Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi said on Friday.
Speaking at the launch of the book, The Lurking Hydra: South Asia’s Terror Travail, authored by late Lt. Gen. Subroto Mitra, at M.O.P. Vaishnav College for Women, he said, “The Popular Front of India is a very dangerous organisation. It has more than 16 fronts, masks — mask of human rights, mask of rehabilitation, mask of being a student organisation, it takes the form of a political party. But its whole aim is to destabilise this country.”
Mr. Ravi said the PFI was at the forefront of sending fighters to Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq. “Unfortunately some political parties are supporting it out of their own political vested interest. This is a threat that we need to be very careful about,” he said.
