Home Ministry receives ED report on PFI

By The Assam Tribune

NEW DELHI, Feb 20 - The Home Ministry has received a report from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on the Popular Front of India (PFI), an alleged radical group, which has been accused of funding some recent protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), officials said on Thursday.

The Central government has also sought inputs from some state governments and other agencies on whether the PFI was allegedly involved in anti-CAA protests in their respective states.

�The Home Ministry has received a report from the ED on the PFI and it is being examined,� a government official said.

The PFI has on several occasions denied having any link with any protest against the CAA in the country.

The ED is believed to have prepared the report after questioning some PFI functionaries in connection with a money laundering probe against the group and an NGO linked to it.

Half a dozen office bearers of the Kerala-based organisation were questioned by the ED early this month about the finances, expenditure, various sources of funding and beneficiaries of the funds generated or distributed by it. � PTI
