Ever since its inception, the Popular Front of India had been in news for all bad reasons ranging from indulging in anti-national activities to doing Love Jihad. There is a huge uproar in public, calling for a total ban on this controversial outfit. Today, two incidents happened at two different places, both of which are important for national security. In both cases PFI is the culprit.
PFI’s bomb training centre unearthed
During a search, operation conducted Kerala Forest department today in the cashew plantations coming under the Forest Development Corporation at Padam, Pathanapuram, Kollam, explosive substances viz. Gelatin sticks-2, Detonators-4, battery, wires, gums etc were recovered. The investigating agencies have taken a serious note of this recovery as intelligence reports mentioned about the Islamist outfit Popular Front of India’s operating secret training camp in the area.
Later, the Bomb squad arrived at the place and further search operations took place. The investigating agencies had received information from an Islamic terrorist caught in Uttar Pradesh of more than 200 Muslim fundamentalists receiving arms training from this area. Since the specific area has dense forests, it’s a safe haven for terrorists.
Earlier also, PFI had been involved in various terror-related activities, conversion racket and black money transactions. As per the latest reports, PFI terrorists were plotting to murder the RSS-BJP leaders of Southern
Kerala.
IT Dept cancels PFI’s registration
PFI in its Memorandum of Association to the IT dept had claimed that the outfit was created for ‘promoting national integration, communal amity and social harmony’. PFI also claims that their aim is to ‘identify and check the menaces of casteism, communalism and fascism.
Income Tax Department today quashed the registration of Popular Front of India (PFI) under section 12AA(3) of the Income Tax Act 1961. Section 12AA(3) of the Act prescribes that the ‘registration can be canceled when the Commissioner is satisfied that the activities of the Trust or Institution are not genuine or are not being carried out under the objects of the Trust or Institution’.
