There is widespread violence in KL as part of PFI's hartal. They are trying to stage a mini direct action day by terrorizing the society and govt to make a statement.

In a way it is good. Let GoKL take a stance, and let non-peacefools in KL also understand what is in store for them. The K.P folks seems to be in a really bad place. They are targetted by PFI goons, and they also have PFI moles in their own ranks.

PFI and SDPI were slowly setting themselves up as legitimate political parties in KL with a cadre base which can be tapped into for violence. Every time the previous versions of these organisations were banned, they had managed to pop up again in another name almost the very next week. It was mainly because the structure was left in place and only organisation was banned. This time the centre has taken its sweet time to take action against them. Hopefully they have gathered various pieces of evidence from Kashmir to KL including receipt of foreign funding for terrorist activity.

The arrest of senior leaders across the country suggests that this time the organisation's structure would be dismantled to some extent. If the full power of UAPA can be brought upon these people and the ED can lock down funding sources simultaneously, there will be some results. There will be the usual noises in the media and support from lutyens group but all depends on getting convictions in the court from our hizzoners.

NIA has covered almost all activities of PFI and hopefully have got the evidence to back it up in court.
Rs 120 crore in bank deposits of PFI and linked entities: ED
Hours after it arrested Muhammed Shafeeque Payeth, a leader of the Popular Front of India, from Kozhikode in Kerala, the Enforcement Directorate told a special PMLA court in Lucknow that probes revealed that Rs 120 crore, mostly cash, was deposited over the years in accounts of PFI and related entities and these organisations had been collecting funds for unlawful activities.

In its remand application, the ED told the court that the accused had even planned to form a terrorist gang with the intent to cause disturbance during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Patna on July 12 this year.
“The subsequent transfer, layering and integration of such funds for eventful use in their continuous unlawful activities over time, which include but are not limited to inciting violence and fomenting trouble leading to Delhi riots of February 2020, visit of PFI/CFI members to Hathras with an intent to disturb communal harmony, inciting communal riots and spreading terror, plan to form a terrorist gang – collecting of deadly weapons and explosive devices to simultaneously launch attacks on many important persons and sensitive places in Uttar Pradesh with an intent to undermine the unity, integrity and sovereignty of the nation and to disturb communal harmony, organising training camp with an intent to cause disturbance during PM Modi’s visit in Patna, preparing, printing and possessing incriminating literature having potential to pose threat to the unity, integrity and sovereignty of the nation,” the application stated.
In a remand application before a special NIA court in Kerala for custody of Karamana Ashraf Moulavi, national in-charge of the PFI’s education wing and others, the NIA said that the PFI, its office bearers, members and affiliates in Kerala have conspired to indulge in unlawful activities by encouraging vulnerable youths to join terrorist organisations including Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)/Daesh and Al-Qaida, and also conspired to establish Islamic rule in India by committing terrorist acts as part of violent jihad.
“PFI also spreads disaffection against India by wrongful interpretation of government policies to the particular section of people to create hatred against the state and its machineries. After obtaining search warrants, searches were conducted at the residential premises and the offices of PFI. During raids, various articles/documents, including a list of targeting prominent leaders of a particular community,” the application stated.

Global terror recruiter PFI headed for a UAPA ban by Centre
After country-wide multiple raids on September 22 in 15 states, the Union Home Ministry is all set to include Islamist Popular Front of India (PFI) in the list of already 42 banned terrorist organisations under Section 35 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967. The relevant section of the UAPA, 1967 reads that an organisation shall be deemed to be involved in terrorism if it commits or participate in acts of terrorism; prepares for terrorism; promotes or encourages terrorism or otherwise involved in terrorism.
According to officials in know of the developments, the banning of the PFI under UAPA may not wipe out the organisation in India but act as a massive disruptor of their pro-terror setup. Just like the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) morphed into Indian Mujahideen and PFI, the latter has been preparing itself for government raids and ban for the past two years.

It is perhaps due to this pre-emption by the PFI that the enforcement agencies have not been able to recover either huge amounts of illegal cash or arms and ammunition.
In 2020, the ministry of home affairs had put together a dossier in the aftermath of the anti-CAA protest violence, pointing to the funding received by the PFI. According to the report, the PFI received funding from countries like UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar and Oman. The PFI members actively operate in the UAE through frontal outfits like the the Rehab Foundation, the Indian Social Forum, and Indian Fraternity Forum. PFI leaders maintain an office at Muraba, behind Lulu hypermarket in Al Ain in Dubai, and are active in spreading Islamic fundamentalism and raising funds to be sent to India, the dossier adds.

The Indian Fraternity Forum in Bahrain, UAE, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia is also involved in raising funds for it, the dossier says. “Senior PFI leaders visit these countries and urge members to facilitate jobs to Indian Muslims so that the base of the organisation expands along with the funds flow,” said a senior government official.

^^^ If GoI can pull a Article 370 removal type legal move, then PFI (and its spin offs) can be neutralised for good. 'Operation Octopus' was meticulously planned and executed. Now the action has moved to the courts. And here there have to be very strong case and evidences. PFI for sure will be able to get smart lawyers. I can already see folks like Kapil Sibal etc standing at the corner, waiting to jump in.

Operation Octopus 2.0: NIA tightens grip on PFI, over 170 detained from 8 states
Days after the major crackdown on the top functionaries and workers of the radical Islamic outfit Popular Front of India (PFI), the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Tuesday launched the second round of its midnight raids in eight states and Union Territories. The NIA, along with other probe agencies, is carrying out raids on PFI members under Operation Octopus for allegedly supporting terror activities in the country. On Tuesday, raids were conducted in Delhi, Karnataka, Assam, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Telangana. More than 170 PFI members have been detained/arrested from these eight states and UTs, sources told India Today.
This Address in Kerala's Malappuram Accounted for Most Arrests in NIA-Led Raids on PFI
A single address in Kerala’s Malappuram has emerged as the source of maximum arrests made in the NIA-led multi-agency raids on September 22 against radical Islamic outfit Popular Front of India.

The centre — known for congregations, cultural gatherings and educational activities — was among 93 locations linked to the PFI raided by the National Investigation Agency, Enforcement Directorate and state police forces. More than 100 leaders and functionaries of the outfit were arrested in the raids for allegedly supporting terror activities, of which the NIA arrested 45. The centre in question accounts for most arrests overall and the NIA count.

Sources told News18 that most PFI leaders were found in and around this location in Malappuram town when the raids began in the wee hours of September 22. Many people had gathered in the big hall in the early hours, they added.

“The centre had been under the scanner for the past few weeks due to movement of suspects. The centre, which has a hall, rooms and other facilities, is famous for local congregation and educational activities. Agencies caught the highest number of PFI leaders and members from in and around this centre in Malappuram," a senior official told News18 on condition of anonymity.

Looks like the wish of many at BRF has come true 8) :).
Centre declares PFI 'unlawful', bans it for five year
What is the PFI? Why has it been banned?

In KA, there has been a round up of many more PFI cadre under the preventive custody related laws (Sec 107 and Sec 151 Cr.PC) with the bail condition including surety given by a government official. If that cannot be arranged these people will 'go inside' for some time.

Meanwhile a rumour is floating in KL that NIA men (or spies) had been working in many shops of the PFI cadre in the guise of Bengali labour ;). And they were giving timely information to the HQ. 8). The peacefools may now start thinking twice before employing Bengali labour.

Came back to say: SDPI (Social Democratic Party of India) is NOT in the banned list of organizations.

At least in KL this is 100% true. PFI cadres have infiltrated the ranks of the constabulary in a sizeable number. A few of them have been caught, but after seeing the intake of police recruits from the community, I feel that the sleeper cells would be much more in numbers. Moles in the police even shared information about their colleagues who were associated with temples, are regular temple goers etc.

As expected...

Thane: 4 PFI functionaries arrested in late-night operation released on bail
Four Popular Front of India (PFI) functionaries arrested by the Thane crime branch in a late-night operation from Mumbra, Bhiwandi and Kalyan have been released on bail.

The four were produced in a magistrate court and released after taking a pledge to maintain law and order in future.

...

The brother of one of the functionaries told TOI, "I don't know why my brother got arrested. He is not at all involved in any of the wrongdoings and he volunteered as a social worker. We have full faith in the judiciary that there will be no injustice to it".

Hold your guns. The report does NOT mention which category of magistrate court was involved here. It could be an Execute Magistrate court which does not have a public prosecutor. Here it is generally a revenue official (Tehsildar, Rev. Div Officer, Sub Collector, District Magistrate) who is the magistrate. Under provisions of Sec. 107 Cr.PC the police can recommend preventive action to be taken by the executive magistrate. The executive magistrate summons the other party and tells him that he should not indulge in any illegal actions. And is then expected to execute a bond & surety. Once this is done; the person can be released. Sec 151 Cr.PC is another provision, to be used against a person who plans to commit a cognizable offence. All these are preventive measures.

In KA; the executive magistrates made more stringent bond & surety clauses. One is that a government official has to stand as surety for the person's good behaviour. Many government officers would NOT take this risk, so the person goes into preventive custody for two weeks.

SDPI is not yet banned because it is working in the garb of a political party. GOI has sought the opinion of election commission and if there are no major objections, it will also be banned. But banning a political party will definitely raise and hue and cry among the usual suspects. Also, if you care about such things, this will bring the political freedom ranking of India down by a few points in the fleedom indices published by western outlets.

* He put SC hearings online (which CJI Ramana promised but never did)
* Hope he gives free hand to Govt. on PFI, CAA and Money Laundering act.

Once Nov comes, we will have tough time for next 2 years ... Jihadis/Missionaries/Commies/anti-nationals/Foreign agencies have been looking forward to it.

'Islamic country by 2047, cadres told to…': Maharashtra ATS chief on PFI plan
Maharashtra Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) chief Vineet Agarwal said the PFI had a plan to make an Islamic country by 2047 by motivating people to commit hate crimes. It also gave lectures to incite them, telling participants to keep items for self-defence, bricks and sharp objects on their terraces, news agency ANI quoted Agarwal as saying.

"They used to portray themselves as persons associated with social development and physical education and gather people; gave lectures to incite them. Also told participants to keep items for self-defence, bricks and sharp objects on their terraces, the Maharashtra ATS chief said.

“We are using tools to recover their data, they had a plan to make an Islamic country by 2047 by motivating people to commit hate crimes. Target killing was their modus operandi by identifying the target. We will further freeze their accounts,” Agarwal added.

The honorable High Court of Kerala means business and this will force GoKL to take action.
Kerala high court directs PFI to pay ₹5.2 crore as damages
The Kerala high court on Thursday directed the Popular Front of India (PFI) to pay in two weeks ₹5.20 crore as damages estimated to have been caused during the bandh it called against raids on the premises of the group and people associated with it last week. The bandh was called days before the Centre on Wednesday outlawed the group and its affiliates for five years after a crackdown across several states.

A division bench of justice A K Jayasankaran Nambiar and C P Mohammad Nias directed lower courts against giving bail to the accused until the damages are paid. It directed the government to make PFI state secretary A Abdul Sattar, who made the bandh call, an accused in all cases filed in connection with violence during the shutdown.
In 2019, the court said at least seven-day notice was needed for a hartal and declared a sudden shutdown illegal and unconstitutional. The court took cognisance on its own of the PFI’s bandh last Friday.

It said strict proceedings, including attachment of their properties, can be initiated if the damages were not paid. The Kerala State Road Transport Corporation earlier informed the court that 58 of its buses were damaged and 20 employees injured in the violence during the bandh.

Well it will probably go to the Supreme Court now..

But there is a good chance that the jihadis will lose there as well

(Some years ago the SS in mumbai was made by the courts to pay for a strike. They were very careful about calling for strikes thereafter..)

If they do lose them it will be interesting to see how they make the payment.. if they claim inability then it will give an opportunity to audit their funds, source of income, properties (of the organisation as well as the office bearers)

I note that Ind Muj and SIMI were Karnataka-based organizations while PFI is Kerala based.
How did it grow wings in 10 different states?
Ind Muj and SIMI had Congress godfather Digvijay Singh.
Who is PFI's godfather?
Also, PFI has many fronts like an Octopus and not a Hydra which has many heads.

Sorry for being off the topic. India Today is a special magazine. Their investigative journalism is better than others. Remember 1984. It was special time. My BIL was posted in Amritsar ( IA captain in those times).My sis was evacuated just few days before and she was very much vorried. I had to woke up at 4 in morning and rush to the newspaper wholesalers distribution center and I managed to get copy controversial India Today . It was banned at 11 in morning. It had eye-opening graphic details .

Islam and it's proliferators (Ashrafi class and Ulema) is the issue. Arresting and banning is like applying a bandaid to a gunshot wound. The cadre along with the Islamic leadership will devise another org and we'll be in the same situation within a few yrs. The Indian state has no interest in dealing with this judging by how it let's the situation deteriorate to the point of AFSPA. It's hard to say where we go from here.

Nothing will happen to these officers in the short term as this report from NIA will be dubbed as an attempt by fascist hindutva govt in the centre to undermine Kerala's secular credentials by both UDF in opposition and LDF in power. The centre will again have to go in with CRPF and drag the terrorists out from KL in the future. As far as I see, KL is a lost cause.
