On the 7th of July, Thursday, Mr. Krishna Saagar Rao, the Chief Spokesperson of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of Telangana State, issued a statement urging the Union Ministry of Home Affairs to ban the radical organization the Popular Front of India (PFI.)
According to sources, the PFI is a radical organization in Telangana and has been actively radicalizing Muslim youth for years. In the open statement, Mr. Krishna Saagar Rao said that the PFI agenda confessed by the arrested suspects to the police is extremely unsettling and dangerous to the religious harmony and social integrity of this nation. He added, “These radicals admitting, that they have been training hundreds of youth against Hindu community, is a serious plot to destabilize the society.”
The demand to ban the PFI organization came after the Telangana Police arrested three alleged members of the PFI in Nizamabad. The arrests were made for allegedly training youth to create religious animosity.
The arrested people were identified as Shaik Sadullah (40,) Mohammed Imran (22), and Mohammed Abdul Mobin ( 27) and were booked under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Unlawful Activities (Prevention Act (UAPA.) Besides three new arrests, Abdul Khader (52) was arrested earlier under the same sections of the IPC and the UAPA.
Nizamabad police commissioner K.R. Nagaraju said so far four persons have been arrested in the case. About 30 people were identified and efforts were on to arrest the remaining.
It is to be noted, that the PFI is not a banned organization, but the activities of its members attracted penal actions. The organization reportedly spread its network to other districts like Jagtiyal and Warangal in Telangana and Kadapa and Kurnool districts in neighboring Andhra Pradesh.
