What is PFI?

PFI was established in 2006 in Kerala. After the demolition of the Babri Masjid in 1992, the PFI was born out of the merger of three Muslim organizations – National Development Front of Kerala, Karnataka Forum for Dignity, and Manitha Neeti Pasari of Tamil Nadu.

After the demolition of the Babri Masjid, several organizations emerged in South India, some of which merged to form the PFI.

PFI describes itself as a neo-social movement committed to empowering people from minority communities, Dalits, and other weaker sections of society.

In how many states is PFI active?

PFI claims to have units in 22 states at present. There has been phenomenal growth of PFI in the last few years.

Apart from Asia, PFI also gets funding from Middle-Eastern countries. Earlier the headquarter of PFI was in Kozhikode, but after its expansion, the headquarter was shifted to Delhi.

PFI state president Nasruddin Elmarom is one of the founding leaders of the organization. Its All India President E Abubakar is also from Kerala.
