CPM, Congress question effectiveness of ban

Deccan Chronicle  

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The ban on PFI has evoked mixed reactions from political parties with the CPM, Congress and Muslim League questioning its effectiveness and the BJP terming the action inevitable considering nation’s security.

If any outfit, be it PFI or the RSS, if they take law into their hands, unleashes violence or indulges in killings, then they need to be dealt with an iron hand. BJP leader and union minister V. Muraleedharan welcomed the Centre’s decision to ban the PFI.
