Let us tell you that RJD supremo Lalu Prasad has demanded a ban on RSS after the central government's ban on PFI. He said that, like PFI, RSS should also be banned. Lalu Yadav said that an investigation is going on into PFI. All organizations like PFI should be banned. Both PFI and RSS should be probed. Targeting the government, he said, "inflation and unemployment are at their peak. Efforts are being made to spread Hindu Muslim bigotry in the country." The government bans PFI and 8 related organizations. According to a gazetted notification, eight associate organizations of PFI – Rehab India Foundation, Campus Front of India, All India Imam Council, National Confederation of Human Rights Organization, National Women's Front, Junior Front, Empower India Foundation, and Rehab Foundation, Kerala have also been named by UAPA. They are included in the list of organizations that have been banned under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.  The National Investigation Agency (NIA), the Enforcement Directorate (ED), and various state police forces have conducted two large-scale raids against PFI across the country in the recent past. A total of 106 PFI leaders and activists were arrested in 15 states on September 22 for allegedly supporting terrorist activities in the country.
 
 
On September 27, more than 170 people allegedly linked to PFI were detained or arrested by raids in seven states. Following the ban, the authorities started sealing the offices of PFIs and freezing their bank accounts in the 17 states where the organization was operating.
