Members of PFI participate in ‘SDPI’ ! 

A report claims that all members of PFI have joined SDPI after the ban on PFI. Members of PFI are now preparing to enter the political arena through SDPI (From this, it is evident that banning not only PFI, but also its political arm SDPI is necessary – Editor).

Editorial viewpoint

The security forces should try to uproot PFI completely rather than just banning them.
