PFI again in trouble after Kerala police confirms 6 more youths have joined ISIS

The National Investigation Agency on Wednesday submitted a report against PFI to the Union Home Ministry against its links with alleged terror activities. 

The Union Home Ministry on Wednesday was given a report by the NIA against Kerala-based PFI regarding its alleged links with terror activities, sources have said earlier. The NIA has said that the group has been involved in terror acts, including running terror camps and making bombs and was a fit case to be banned under the UAPA, report says.

 

The controversial radical Islamic organisation Popular Front of India (PFI) has once again come under the dock after six of its active workers allegedly joined the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in Syria. The Kerala Police on Thursday confirmed that the six youth from Kannur in Kerala joined the terror organisation, reports news agency.

The youth were identified as Abdul Ghayoom. Abdul Manuf, Shabeer, Safwan, Suhail, and his wife Rizwana.

Last month, Kerala Police arrested two people from Kannur for having links with the Islamic State. One of the accused named Hamza Thalassery was responsible for recruiting several youths from the state and helping them go to regions such as Syria and Afghanistan to work for the terror organisation, reports a leading daily.

A recent investigative report by a national daily has revealed that PFI has been carrying forced religious conversion as well as is also involved in hawala funding.  In the report called as Operation Conversion Factory, did a sting operation on Zainaba AS, National President of PFI’s women’s front as well as on Ahmed Shareef, PFI founding member.

However, PFI had been denying all the allegations. It has maintained that NIA is falsely implicating it and all the convertees were those who have embraced Islam out of their own free will.
