Jamaat terms PFI ban selective, Jamiat maintains silence

The countrywide ban on the Popular Front of India (PFI) and the arrest of its top leaders has divided the leading Muslim organisations.

While the Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind has maintained silence on the issue, insisting it has “nothing to do with PFI”, the Jamaat-e-Islami Hind has asked the government to revoke the ban, calling it “selective, discriminatory and biased”.

A Jamiat spokesman steered clear of the ban on the PFI, holding, “We are neither with them nor against them. We would not like to say more. Let the law take its course.”
