After the demolition of Babri Masjid in 1992, Muslims in Kerala established the National Development Fund (NDF) in 1994. Gradually its popularity increased in Kerala and the involvement of this organization in communal activities also came to the fore.
In 2003, NDF activists were arrested for the murder of 8 Hindus at Marad Beach in Kozhikode. After this incident, BJP made allegations of NDF having links with ISI, which could not be proved.
Apart from Kerala, organizations named Karnataka Forum for Dignity (KFD) in Karnataka and Manitha Neeti Pasarai (MNP) in Tamil Nadu were working for the Muslims at the grassroots level. These organizations were also getting involved in violent activities.
A meeting was held in Delhi in November 2006. After this NDF merged with these organizations and PFI was formed. Since then this organization has been working. At present it is active in 20 states of the country.
