Twitter at it AGAIN! Gives radical outfit PFI a verified ‘blue tick’; Sufi Islamic Board criticizes this move

New Delhi, June 22: With Twitter continuing its discrimination in the country, the social media giant has now provided "blue tick" to Popular Front India - Karnataka handle. This development is earning criticism from social media as the PFI has been accused of unlawful activists. This comes in the backdrop of Twitter taking away the verified blue tick of several organizations like RSS & also the personal handle of the Vice President.

 

 

 

It should be noted that ever since it was formed in 2006, the radical Islamist outfit PFI has been involved in several clashes and political murders. The organisation has been accused of having links with the banned Islamic terror group Students’ Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). It has been also accused of involving in perpetrating terrorist attacks in India and carrying large-scale communal riots in different parts of the country. 

 

 

Moreover, the Sufi Islamic Board has criticized this move of Twitter. The Sufi Islamic Board has asked Twitter to withdraw its decision. In fact, the Sufi Islamic Board says that evidence has been found against the PFI for its involvement in anti-national activities. In such a situation, giving a blue tick to PFI can be a big mistake of Twitter.

 

 

Several investigation agencies, including the National Investigation Agency (NIA), have named PFI in many cases. Having so many reports against the organization, the move of giving a blue tick to PFI raises innumerable questions on policies of Twitter.
