In episode 1085 of #CutTheClutter, Shekhar Gupta explains the origin of the Popular Front of India (PFI), its key members and how even the worst critics of the Modi government support a ban against it. We will also look at why it is believed that PFI is a revamped version of banned terror outfit Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) despite the former's members contesting the claims and how 'political polarisation' may be behind delay in putting the ban.
