In what is being dubbed the biggest crackdown on the Islamic terror-accused outfit the Popular Front of India (PFI), the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested over 100 cadres, including top Islamic leaders, between Thursday, September 22, and Friday, September 23. During the late hours of September 21, joint teams of the NIA, enforcement directorate, and respective state police conducted raids on multiple locations linked to the organization across 10 Indian states. All the raids were conducted at offices and residences of the PFI members connected with terror funding, organizing terror camps, and recruiting people for jihad. The arrest of Chairman of PFI, OMA Abdul Salam, after a raid on his residence came as a shocker. PFI members were also detained in Assam, Tamil Nadu, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh.
Responding to these arrests, PFI mobs carried out violent protests in multiple locations in Kerala. They damaged public transportation, destroyed private citizens’ vehicles, hurled stones in all directions at anyone they could injure, and then resorted mindlessly to hurling petrol bombs. PFI also called for a strike and forced shopkeepers to keep their shutters down. They organized marches to the locations of the raids while raising abusive slogans against the state and central governments. While these mobs continued to create violence on the streets, their apologists, seated in air-conditioned rooms, rushed to their defense; they took to whatever media platform to which they were given access in order to swear to the social benevolence of the hate group.
In a similar raid conducted of PFI-linked properties in Bihar in July, officials had found documents revealing the radical group PFI’s ‘Mission 2047’ aimed at the complete Islamization of India. One of the names that surfaced during this investigation was Margoob, who was allegedly running a networking group called ‘Ghazwa-E-Hind’. This social group was connected with the Islamists in Pakistan and Bangladesh.
While the nationwide crackdown on PFI continues, it is important to shine a light on the group’s many acts of unadulterated hate and bigotry. On Saturday, September 17, the PFI organized a rally at Kozhikode, Kerala, with the sole purpose of delivering hate-filled speeches against the Hindus. Leading the way was Afsal Qasimi, the state general secretary of the All India Imams Council. The Islamic scholar urged the Prophet’s followers to attain martyrdom while fighting the Hindu organization, RSS. Qasimi further encouraged his people, suggesting that while many would die and be jailed, such martyrs would go to paradise. While Qasimi publicly incited his followers to indulge in violence, Kerala police remained mute. This doesn’t come as a surprise, because back in July, three personnel of the Kerala Police, PV Aliyar, PS Riyas, and Abdul Samad, were accused of leaking sensitive information to jihad terror groups, and were transferred.
But there’s nothing new here; this outfit is known for its hate speeches and sermons to kill the “enemy” of Islam. Earlier this year, a video of a Muslim child raising anti-Hindu and anti-Christian slogans went viral. It appeared as if he was being carried on an adult’s shoulders, with a sea of men marching behind him. Leading the march, the child warned the Christian and Hindus, asserting that the Muslims were coming to annihilate them all. “Be ready for your death rituals if you won’t live in our land quietly. Be ready with rice flakes to fill your mouth if you won’t live quietly [for Hindus]. Be ready to burn amber in your home if you won’t live quietly [for Christians]. Because we are coming, we are your death,” is the exact translation of the venom he spewed in Malayalam. Authorities discovered that the video was from a PFI rally held in Kerala.
Before this, in February 2021, 5000 PFI activists took out an unauthorized rally through the coastal town of Ullal, Karnataka. Many had also dressed as a militia, which rendered the police, district administration, and the general public equally baffled at the sheer audacity demonstrated by the Islamic crowd, and the burgeoning adherence to a muscular form of political Islam in the area.
PFI members are accused of killing numerous Hindus in Kerala, in the most brutal way imaginable. NIA officials have confirmed that PFI office bearers were recruiting Muslim youth for proscribed groups such as the Islamist State. Collaborating with ISIS, PFI compiled a hit-list that included two High Court judges and leaders of the RSS in Kerala. What’s more? The NIA has also charged PFI mentors for indoctrinating Hindu girls to convert and push them towards Love Jihad.
PFI has fooled authorities for too long, an absolute Islamic jihad group working in the web of social welfare. Indians are seeking a total ban on this menace-making machinery.
Raja says
This was long overdue as this terror organization has replaced Students Islamic Movement of India and so on. It only proves that Islamists start any organization with the ideology of Islam and end up ONLY in violence and mayhem. They wait for the opportune time to terrorize/kill the others.
In India Judiciary is pretty independent though it is Left leaning and most of the judges are useful idiots. If the terror investigating agency NIA puts up a decent and earnest defense in the courts*(for the arrests) all the arrests will definitely stand arrest/trial and conviction. This PFI will be banned soon. Now there is a talk about how the the states must be compensated for the damage to the property etc. This practice was proposed by UP chief minister some years back. I don’t know what happened later.
India won’t succumb to islam that easily.
Infidel says
I’m not sure that the numbers in India are that great. On paper, 80% of that country’s population is Hindu, until one starts filtering out the HINOs (Hindus In Name Only): the communist ‘Hindus’, the secular ‘Hindus’, the ‘Hindus’ who visit dargahs to pay their homage, the Bollywood bingeing ‘Hindus’, and so on. Once you filter them out, the actual number of Hindus in India who would oppose jihad, islam and all it stands for falls to 32% of the total population
Only hope I see is the BJP splitting over this ‘triptikaran’ policy and the 2 factions standing against each other in the next parliamentary elections. That’s the only way I can see India get saved
Infidel says
As I noted in the previous story on India, there is more to this crackdown. Read reports that their National Security Advisor – their ‘John Bolton’ – Ajit Doval was behind the pandering policies of the government, but that he is on his way out due to setbacks that the BJP has had in opinion polls. Hopefully Amit Shah issues a nationwide ban and doesn’t hesitate to dismiss state governments that refuse to act against them
But the main thing India needs to do is implement the NRC, and this time crack down hard on all protesters, unlike what they did in 2020 in Delhi when they allowed them to block traffic for months before the Chinavirus hit, which was when they cleared them. They also need to ban the Tablighi Jamaat. If countries like Saudi Arabia, Emirates and a whole host of Arab countries can ban it, there’s no reason that India can’t
Fitna says
There should be zero tolerance for support of terrorism. All nations should declare war against Islamic terrorists and then any individuals giving support to such groups should be arrested, if they engage in violent behavior, no arrests, just kill them all outright.
If you want to beat Islam you have to be as ruthless as the Muslims are or you will lose.

Fitna, we need to enforce our own laws–but the idea that we have to adopt the barbarism of Islam to win is not the case. We didn’t have to become the Nazis to beat Fascism.
James Lincoln says

“Fitna, we need to enforce our own laws”
Absolutely true.
If ALL US laws were followed, and the media practiced real journalism, muslims would now be effectively marginalized in the United States.
And muslims would have had to find a more accommodating Western country to invade.
NoBurkas says
ISLAM is based on terrorism, please read Quran 8:12.

India starts massive crackdown on Islamic group Popular Front of India (PFI)

Good to hear! Of course, Muslims are already engaging in violent riots and worse.
Muslims make up less than 15% of the population of India, yet claim it is ‘their land’ and threaten to murder Hindus and Christians unless they quietly submit to Islam.
