A ban on the Popular Front of India (PFI) passed at breakneck speed - just days after sweeping raids and arrests of over 300 of its members. The government has called the PFI a threat to national security and has banned it under the anti-terror law - the UAPA. The government's ban order marks broad allegations about the PFIs terror actions and then lists a few specific charges. Critics have called the ban selective targeting. We attempt to decode the ban and whether it will stand the scrutiny of the law?
