A release issued by the All India Imams Council, Manipur State public relation officer Mufti Arshad accused the BJP government of wrongly using its agencies, including National Investigation Agency (NIA), Enforcement Directorate (ED) against PFI “instead of taking up necessary actions against an unregistered organisation such as the RSS and its affiliations,” it added.

It demanded the unconditional release of the arrested PFI leaders and members. It also appealed to the government to publicly release the evidence if the authorities find any evidence of PFI conducting illegal activities.
