Beware!: Mangaluru road spray-painted with 'PFI will return' warning

"Beware, PFI will return," a spray painted slogan on a road issued a warning in a small village in Karnataka's Mangaluru. The warning comes as the Central government banned the radical outfit for five years.

PFI and its associates have been banned for five years.

Mangaluru: A spray painted slogan on a road near Bantwal in Mangaluru warned people that Popular Front of India (PFI) will return. PFI was dissolved after the Central government imposed a five-year ban on the outfit and its associates citing 'threat to national security'.
'Beware, PFI will return,' the slogan was painted on a road in Pilathabettu village by unknown miscreants late last night and the police is currently investigating the matter.
The slogan has been seen as an apparent message to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) warning that the radical outfit will make a return. The police is trying to collect evidence as the rural area does not have enough CCTVs.
The area has a lot of PFI members who have been active in this area and police are trying to ascertain whether the act was carried out by PFI members or someone else.
The incident comes almost a week after the Ministry of Home Affairs issued a notification announcing a 5-year ban on the extremist outfit and its associates declaring them 'unlawful associations'.
"There had been a number of instances of international linkages of PFI with Global Terrorist Groups and some activists of the PFI have joined Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and participated in terror activities in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan," the notification said.
