== Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 2 June 2024 ==
according a supreme court judgment itself, regarding the terror link cutting issue "The Bench said “there is no evidence as yet to prove that the Popular Front of India is a terrorist organisation, and hence the respondent cannot be penalised merely for belonging to the PFI. Moreover, even assuming that the PFI is an illegal organisation, we have yet to consider whether all members of the organisation can be automatically held to be guilty.” also Indian established media's like Hindustan Times reported that any evidence supporting these claims has not been found.

Kerala CM re-ignites ‘love jihad’ myth
By M. Ramzan Naik, The Milli Gazette
Published Online: Aug 28, 2010
Print Issue: 16-31 August 2010

Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Chief Minister V S Achutanandan’s charge that the Popular Front of India (PFI), which allegedly masterminded the Taliban-style attack on a college lecturer, has plans to Islamize Kerala in 20 years using “money and marriages” has reignited the “love jihad’ controversy, hotly debated in the state last year. Speaking to reporters in New Delhi on 24 July, VS said PFI was trying to multiply Muslim numbers in the state “by influencing youth of other religions and converting them by giving money, marrying them to Muslim women and thus producing kids of the community.” In a way, the CM was endorsing the concerns expressed by the Kerala high court, which in August 2009, asked the state police to probe if there was an organised racket working to lure youth for conversion using love and money.

Reacting to VS’s statement, PFI state unit president Nasaruddeen Elamaram said: “These are baseless charges which were examined and already rejected by the courts.”

The CM has also incurred the ire of almost all Muslim organisations and political parties who, regardless of their political differences, including the mainstream party Indian Union Muslim League, dubbed Achuthanandan’s statement as “dangerous” and meant to “insulting the entire community.” While dubbing Achuthanandan’s comment as “deplorable” and “dangerous”, UDF leaders suspected it was part of a strategy of his party to play “Hindu card” in the forthcoming civic and assembly polls “as a last-ditch attempt” to regain the eroded support base of ruling LDF, as reflected in Parliament elections last year.

“Through his statement, the Chief Minister is testing waters if the LDF could garner votes of the majority community since it has incurred the wrath of the minority communities through its policies,” UDF convener P P Thankachan said.

BJP said that the Chief Minister’s comment betrayed the “double standard” of his party on the issues of communalism and extremism. If Achuthanandan was serious in his concerns on the growth of communal and extremist forces, he should be ready to outlaw Popular Front and issue a white paper on the radical outfits working in the state, BJP state president V Muraleedharan said.

Two months back, Achuthanandan surprised political circles in the state by saying Muslim and Christian communalism had been gaining strength in Kerala.

What baffled Muslim leaders and others was that the statement came at an inappropriate time. Opposition leader Oommen Chandy said that statement at such juncture was uncalled for. “We have extended all help to the government for getting rid of anti-national elements. But we never expected such a careless statement from him in return, putting the entire community under a shadow”, he said. “It is a shame. No responsible leader will make such a statement,” Minister of State for Railways E. Ahamed said.

===New Kerala outfit on terror radar===

Source- ] A new outfit is under scanner in Kerala for its alleged anti-India ideology. The Popular Front of India (PFI) calls India its enemy and asks for 'total Muslim empowerment'.

Times Now has access to documents seized from activists of the controversial outfit, which prove its anti-national ideology. The documents portray the nation as its enemy and calls to work towards 'total Muslim empowerment’.

The documents also describe the so-called 'freedom parade' organised by the PFI at various centres on Independence Day, as a means to motivate and rejuvenate Muslims.

The Popular Front of India was in the news recently after its activists chopped the hands of a college lecturer, T J Joseph, who allegedly set a question paper, which hurt Muslim sentiments.

Meanwhile, speaking to Times Now, Kerala's Education Minister, M A Baby said that the state government would soon be banning the Freedom Parade organised by PFI activists on every Independence Day in the light of the attack on Joseph.] (]) 14:09, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

== Events ==
Why revert the event edits from article,It should be discussed before reverting a good information about this article.So experts please take care these type of propaganda reverts (Achu 02:50, 5 August 2010 (UTC))
== Discussions after protection applied ==
=== Make it Non-Protected ===
This article should be truth and should not be a nonsense information.So before ]ing an ] illegal statements and nonsense points should remove from the article,In my opinion article should be in truth to refer by anyone in the world for future reference.
Every article should need some negative information ,but at the same time we should give it in a positive manner like "criticism" or "Bad marks".That is the way i think (Achu 02:50, 5 August 2010 (UTC))

===Incorrect referrences===
:'''Reference 1''': Referencing "Love Jihad" to prove an organization is Fundamentalist is incorrect. "Fundamentalism" is to be grounded in basic principles or books , in case of Islam it is Quran & Sunnah just like vedas in Hinduism.
Citing a link for "Love Jihad" is absolutely incorrect to prove that an organization is Fundamentalist, as there no references for it in Quran & Sunnah (Well, there are separate references for "Love" & "Jihad" :) )</br>
:"Love Jihad" is a media planted story :
http://www.tehelka.com/story_main43.asp?filename=Ws141109RamPuniyani.asp
http://news.outlookindia.com/item.aspx?669264
Please note that above link refers to Kerala State Police's, Director General of Police giving testimony in High Court of "No-Conclusive" evidence to suggest of "Love Jihad". </br>
Interestingly , Ram Sene's founder Pramod Mutalik, who accused organizations of "Love Jihad" is himself in the dock for accepting "cash for communal clashes "
http://news.outlookindia.com/item.aspx?682090 . </br>
http://www.tehelka.com/story_main44.asp?filename=Ne220510coverstory.asp . </br>
Hence the source is uncredible . ] (]) 18:00, 6 August 2010 (UTC)</br>
:'''Reference 2''': Rick jens is referncing an " addendum ", sent by reader to a weekly, to suggest that PFI is an extremist organization, without referring to PFI's ideologies.</br>
PFI on its website claims:"It will try to establish an egalitarian society in which freedom, justice and security are enjoyed by all."
http://popularfrontindia.com/pp/page/about-us . </br>
If fellow author perceives PFI as an "Extremist & Fundamentalist" organization, those should be submitted under "Controversies" section.On the contrary "Rick Jens" has reverted the edits & called for an expert view intentionally, bringing this article to a standstill . </br>
It also does not augur well that this author has linked "Extremism" in this article to "Islamic Extremism".I can understand , author's predicament as PFI pitches itself exactly opposite to Hindu-Hardliners namely RSS , VHP , BJP & Bjarang Dal</br>
PFI has denounced violence http://www.twocircles.net/2010jul31/we_condemn_attack_professor_strongest_term_pfi.html. </br>
Irrespective of contrary beliefs' "Wiki" should not be a
"battleground" to spread "hatred" & push ones own "POV".In my humble opinion this article needs to be written. This is not the first instance author's credentials have been questioned, this author was flagged in the past too, http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Wikiquette_alerts ] (]) 18:00, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
: '''More Incorrect referrences''': The second reference doesn't meet Wiki Standards. It is just a comment (see the heading Rejoinder) from a reader. It is not from a well known writer. It is just a user ].
: '''Duplicate References''': First and fifth references given are same, which is just an allegation.
: '''Court verdict on Love Jihad''': It is proven in the court that such allegations are baseless. It is also pointed out by all sectors of religious leaders. -- ] (]) 13:48, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Please read below the comments and suggestion for the ]. A neutral article on Popular Front of India should be realistic as possible. There are proper references. Check the recent statement of Kerala chief Minister about ].] (]) 20:44, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

=== Suggestions for changes ===
I've been looking over the article, and suggest the following changes to the lead section:
*The 2nd reference lead claiming the Popular Front of India is extremist is sourced to . This appears to me to be equivalent to a letter to the editors--it is labeled as a rejoinder, and written as a response to a prior article. Unless a better source for the term extremist can be found, I suggest we strike that.
*The statement "They are alleged to have links to Islamic terrorist organisations like Lashkar-e-Taiba and SIMI (Student Islamic Movement of India)." in paragraph 2 is not sourced. Unless a source can be found, it should be struck.
*The sentences "PFI has been accused of supporting a "Love Jihad" in the southern Indian state of Kerala.. Kerala State Police has arrested two leaders of Popular Front of India on the execution of hand chopping of Professor T J Joseph alleging blasphemy." should be moved lower to the appropriate sections, placement of these in the lead seems to me to place undue emphasis on these events.
What do others think about these changes? --<span style="text-shadow:#DDDDDD 0.2em 0.2em 0.1em; class=texthtml">] (])</span> 17:56, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
: I Totally agree with your suggestion. Few more:
:* '''Involvement in violence and terrorism''': References 11,12 and 13 are not relavant. 11 and 12 are fake links.13 is from a regional non-english reference Mangalam!!: , .
:* '''Connection with other terror networks''': There is no refernce to first para. Moreover,home minister statement need to be considered. He says there is no ''Taliban Court'', or ''Darul Huda'': .
:* '''Anti - India rants''': This is just an allegation and propoganda put by rightwing ] leader ], who has political interests. From the numerous campigns and conduct freedom parade & rally , this arguments are not credible. Just because of a muslim rightwing leader, it cannot be proven that they are against ].
:* '''Kerala CM charges''': The balance of paragraph is questioned. All mainstream organizations has rejected ]'s allegation. It is only the ] who, for the political benefits brings this ''Love Jihad'' propoganda again. It looks there is a serious issue with this paragraph. -- ] (]) 12:23, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
::Good, but I suggest we take it one paragraph at a time and work to acheive consensus for changes. Also, let us all try to limit our comments to the material in the article, rather than editor's conduct--discussions of conduct do not belong here. I have checked the dead links and agree they should go. Does anyone else have any comments regarding my suggestions for the lead section? <span style="text-shadow:#DDDDDD 0.2em 0.2em 0.1em; class=texthtml">] (])</span> 12:43, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Please read below the comments and suggestion for the introduction. A neutral article on ] should be realistic as possible. There are no dwarf of properly sourced information about this violent organization. The Love Jihad and the attack on T J Joseph should stay as part of Introduction as these are the improtant events in this organisation.The entrie Popular front of India leadership is in scanner on Attack of T J Joseph. Kerala Police have summoned two top leaders of the radical Muslim group Popular Front of India in connection with the case of a college professor’s hand being chopped off for allegedly preparing a question paper derogatory to Prophet Mohammed.Fifteen activists of PFI have been arrested for the July 4 attack on T.J. Joseph.]. ] (]) 20:19, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

== Suggestions on Introduction ==

A neutral article on ] should capture the violent and true nature of their activities.
It has been widely reported in media that the ] is a Muslim,, radical, fanatic, extremist terrorist organization.

===Popular front of India incarnation of NDF- links with SIMI & the Lashker-e-Toiba (LeT)===

::1.'''Incarnation of the ultra-Islamic National Democratic Front'''.- ]


::2.'''Majority of the leaders of this new front belong to the banned SIMI'''. The decision to launch Popular Front of India (PFI) was taken at a conference of KFD, MNP & NDF held on 22nd November 2006 at Calicut. The leaders of PFI include, K.M.Shareef, President of KFD, Gulam Muhammed, leader of MNP and Abdur Rahman Baqari of NDF had decided to confine their activities to South India. The PFI was suspected of involvement in communal violence in Mangalore and several places in Kerala. '''It is the first umbrella organisation of the SIMI related Wahhabi and Salafi Islamists in Southern India'''. In the coming years, it might replicate the roles of the Pakistani-brand militarised Deobandism in the peninsular states- ]


::3. The PFI (formerly the National Development Front) was formed in the seething post-Babri cauldron ofthe early ’90s. '''Though its SIMI antecedents are well known''' and its clash with the RSS and CPM has torn the region apart, the PFI positions itself as a crusader for the Muslim cause. But despite its venturing into softer outreach activities, its repressive social agenda and '''its ruthless violence make it a dreaded end of Kerala’s political spectrum'''- ]

::4. That the state intelligence wing has conducted a thorough interrogation of the arrested PFI activists to ascertain the details of those involved in preparing the pamphlets for the Ideological Camps (ICs). "We have also launched a probe to find the source of the '''Taliban CD which was seized from the premises of a PFI leader'''. The police suspect that '''the pamphlets were written by a person who had undergone training under the Lashker-e-Toiba (LeT)'''," highly placed police sources said.]

== How to proceed? ==

We need to figure out a way to slow things down a bit and sort through some of these issues. Many sources have been presented, but many of these are sub optimal, being editorial pieces. Obviously, there is disagreement as to the nature of the PFI. Rather than focusing on the lead, perhaps we should start with a single issue? I would suggest the accusation of the love jihad. It seems that there was an accusation that the PFI was involved in this, but also that the authorities decided there was little or nothing to it. What are the best 3-4 sources for this issue? <span style="text-shadow:#DDDDDD 0.2em 0.2em 0.1em; class=texthtml">] (])</span> 22:04, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

== Please let's maintain a neutral point of view ==

I've restored some of the negative coverage to the article, the material is I think well sourced. We need to present material as it is reported in reliable sources, positive and negative. I would suggest, since there is some contention surrounding this subject, that we discuss changes of sourced material.

To that end, I recast the lead, moving some of the material to other sections. I also deleted some references that I felt were not reliable sources, one being a personal blog. The lead really doesn't need to have references, so long as it accurately summarizes material presented (and referenced) in the body. Let's keep the lead very simple for the time being, and one we have a stable body in the article, we can work on the lead.

Joseph'' section, I found you brought the point that Al-Qaida based CD is found from the activists. ''The police have not disclosed much about the CDs and documents'' This itself shows their hidden agenda. To add to that, I got a very strong evidence that PFI activists were showing copies of CDs captured by Police in public '''after the police captured such CDs'''(see picture taken on 15-Jun-2010 from Kannur). According to their explanation PFI says that ''The CD's were the video documentaries of various public programmes which are sold in public''. This bring a strong suspicion that CPI(M) and its government is playing dirty games using Police and other government means. The reason could be they have a strong stand against CPI(M) as PFI strongly criticize their policies on minority politics. -- ] (]) 08:56, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

" So what the source says is that PFI is being investigated by the NIA, and that a reports suggest connections. These are not sufficiently strong statements to support the assertion that the PFI "has been accused by intelligence agencies of having links to terrorist groups". Careful reading of the sources suggest that certain government officials and a number of unnamed sources have made accusations, but that the intelligence agencies themselves have remained less assertive.

My contribution, albiet small, have been diverse. No offense WBRSin; let the Wiki admins be a judge of your distorted story. The courts have upheld the ban; not that the allegation that the PFI is a new face of the banned SIMI. If so, the High Court would have asked the Supreme Court to ban the Popular Front consequently.

Kochi: Kerala High Court on Thursday upheld the ban imposed by the state Government on the conduct of 'Freedom Parades' by activists of Popular Front of India (PFI) at Kollam and Kozhikode on August 15.

Earlier, the Government had submitted that the PFI, is the 'resurrection' of banned SIMI in another form and along with National Democratic Front (NDF) had 'active involvement' in 27 murder cases, mostly of cadres of CPI(M) and RSS.

===Why is it dubious?===

*'''What did the court say on 26th July 2012?'''
:: The court rejected the government's "stand" on the application seeking permission for the freedom parade and directed it to inform its decision on Monday. Source:
*'''What did the court say on 2nd Aug 2012?''' (ie, the very next week)
:: Accepting senior government pleader C S Manilal's contention that granting permission to conduct the parade would jeopardize communal harmony in the state, Justice T R Ramamchandran Nair dismissed the PFI petition. Source:

So in a nutshell, rejecting the Govt's stand (whatever the stand was), was only an interim verdict and directed Govt to provide more clarity next week. As per the final verdict on 2nd Aug, the High Court accepted the argument that freedom parade would jeopardize communal harmony in the state.

Also the 'lack of proof' you have given is from a different case happened back in '''2010''', which is the hand chopping case. This is related to lack of evidence on LeT and Al-Queda connection, which is not relevant here.

Highlighting an interim verdit is not so neutral. So I'm adding the dubious flag back, please discuss before removing it. --] (]) 14:41, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

===It's obvious===

*'''What the court said on 26th July 2012'''
:: The three references gives the Government stand on the Popular Front - that it's an offshoot or form of the banner SIMI.
There was no interim judgement from the HC; it was a claim by the State government for which no no evidence could be provided . SIMI still remains banned.

*'''What did the court say on 2nd Aug 2012''' ( the next week)
Court verdict is clear : upholding the decision to ban the Parade to preserve communal harmony. Such decision have been taken with other organisation - SIMI link or not.

KuttiMama, SIMI connection/offshoot/another form was claimed and not proven (even now); hence, the HC's rejection of this stand.
The ban was, however, upheld, in accordance with the Government request to preserve communal harmony

''- No evidence could be provided for SIMI connection
: Thats a false statement.

Most former leaders of SIMI were either identified with this organization (PFI) or were at present holding various portfolios in the new organization which itself demonstrates that the organization is a 'resurrection of SIMI' in another form.''

SIMI is a banned organisation; if the Front was truly a SIMI offshoot, it would face an automatic ban; wonder why the HC didn't refer to the SC for this.
May be because the same State Government had claimed Taliban & Al-Qaeda links to the Popular Front (Ref#15).

- This is a perfect example of Implied conclusion.

You yourself is not sure what else could be it, but finally coming to the biased 'contextual' based conclusion that the court rejected SIMI connection. It may be, or may not be, but the article just doesn't say it.

Misplaced Pages is no place for such conclusions. See ]
<--- It's a conclusion from the article - just correlating the initial and final paragraphs as learnt in "Reading Comprehension" section of the English language curriculum taught in schools ; its not from anywhere else.


If you can find a source which clearly says the court rejected SIMI connection, I won't disagree. Or you can keep it, but have to clearly say 'which' stand was rejected by the Court.

:Huhshyeh, you are always welcome to make modifications, if you feel I omitted something. Did I ever delete a properly cited content from you? I haven't distorted any facts also - First raid and second raid have both retrieved country-made bombs, weapons and documents related to terrorist ideologies.

:Some early reports used the term 'alleged PFI activists', however the first (which is also the latest) clearly says 'KERALA COPS CONFIRM POPULAR FRONT TERROR CAMP IN KANNUR'. This is why I've avoided the terminology 'alleged', but I'm still keeping the term 'alleged terror camp'.

:''"The Popular Front leadership and those arrested claimed that a Yoga training programme was being held at the facility as part of a personality development programme the outfit had organized."'' - which basically means that PFI leadership has admitted that the people attended the camp were infact PFI members.

Too much of talk. Term "reported" is cleverly used against "leaders reasoned as to '''why''' numerous allegations were being made and conspiracies being hatched".

Yes, this talk wasn't needed in the 1st place; the initial use of "reported" had already said it all (restructured or not) - similar to the other reports from media. 3 sources have cited to suggest the leaders view; whatever reason they have expressed has been added consistent with all the cited sources; so is there are need to cite it again, Kuttimama?

Hilariously, if we go through the "accusations" and allegations against the PFI mentioned by the "reliable" media sources, both the the NIA and IB doesn't seem to justify that they are the real sources of media content. Nor has the Judiciary put any verdict against the PFI, even in the recent "most infamous" hand chopping case, the accused are alleged members? So we have a loads of unaccounted words here used as propaganda by some in media, denied by goverment sources, unverified by the Judiciary. So please Human3015 and his alias Irrigator go ahead and fill the page with the PCI warned NIExpress news...] (])


:: The denial from NIA and IB don't mean much. Complaint was made against 10 newspapers, but only one was taken to task by the Press Council. So, the other 9 continue to be reliable sources for us. The fact that PFI made a complaint doesn't make them unreliable. -- ] (]) 09:17, 26 June 2015 (UTC) :{{re|Pharaoh of the Wizards}} I see that you have just copied and pasted the whole thing but you were supposed to avoid copying the first bit, that is, the sentence to be replaced.
