"PFI which raises 'Pakistan Zindabad' slogans does not have any right to raise such slogans in the country. It is a country of patriots. The home ministry will take action on that," he said.The centre on Wednesday declared the PFI and its associates, affiliates or fronts as 'unlawful associations' with immediate effect for a period of five years.This was after two rounds of national raids on PFI offices and leaders in connection with the funding of terrorist activities. The union home ministry said the PFI had been found to be involved in 'several criminal and terror cases and shows sheer disrespect towards the constitutional authority of the country with funds and ideological support from outside, it has become a major threat to the internal security of the country'.
