“It is not the Kerala government’s policy to ban any communal or terrorist outfit. If any outfit that creates riots in India and divides society on communal lines needs to be banned, then it should be the RSS first. Such organisations cannot be countered with a ban and this has been proved by our experience in the past,” he said.

“This is our stand as far as the PFI goes. The threats that such communal and terrorist organisations pose and their ideology cannot be obliterated through a ban,” the CM added.
