“Each vote counts, so ensure it goes to the right leadership. When the people of Karnataka press the ‘Lotus’ symbol, understand that you are not voting to elect an MLA or a minister and Chief Minister. Your vote will further strengthen PM Modi’s hands in creating ‘Mahan Karnataka’. Your vote will protect Karnataka from PFI,” Shah had said addressing a public meeting at Shirahatti.
Government Action Against PFI
In September 2022, the Ministry of Home Affairs had declared the PFI and its many affiliates as ‘unlawful association’ after its involvement in violent activities came to light during investigations carried out by various state police units and national agencies.
