In April 2011, the BWF barred the PBF to participate in the international events, due to the existence of two factions within the governing body.[2] BWF was also "concerned about the PBF’s involvement in human trafficking and bogus entries in international events."[3] In 2014, BWF lifted a ban from PBF, and in June 2014, PBF elects the new national badminton body.[4][5]
