‘Islamic State’ is not just anti-national, it’s anti-Islam too: PFI

Kannur, Nov 16, The Popular Front of India (PFI) has termed the Islamic State (IS) and other terrorist organizations that carry out attacks in the name of Islam as ‘anti-national’, ‘anti-religion’ and ‘anti-humanity’.

Addressing a public meeting here on Wednesday to explain its stand on the Islamic State in the wake of the arrest of some of its former workers for their alleged links with IS, PFI national executive member P. Koya said that Islamic State was anti-national because it was a deviation from Islam.

“Just as the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh interprets Hinduism narrowly, the Islamic State, which is backed by Israel interprets Islam in a completely wrong fashion,” he said. Both the organisations were exclusionary, he added.

Referring to the reports of youths going to fight for Islamic State, Mr. Koya said that creating terror and killing people cannot be an Islamic act. He also pointed out all the Islamic scholars in the world have unanimously declared Islamic State as anti-Islamic group.

Instead of going to trouble hit foreign lands to get killed in the name of jihad, the youths should work for empowering marginalised communities in this country, he said.

It might be possible that 10 or 15 former inactive members of the PFI had gone to join IS. But, that could not be a reason for suppressing an organisation functioning lawfully, he added.

He also said that PFI was now being targeted because it saw ‘right-wing Hindutva fascism’ as its enemy.

The meeting organised by PFI district committee was presided over by district president V.K. Noufal. Rafeekh Kuttikattoor presented the topic. PFI functionaries C.M. Naseer and N.P. Shakkeel were also present.

Sandy. you really have sandy mind. PFI is not banned anywhere. you lie as you have no ground to blame PFI and no right to blame. As RSS links to terror already revealed by national media and NIA . just ask your RSS to shift to Pakistan or nepal, As they dont even hoist national flag 

i dont think this ibrahim is ibrahim, i think he is not a muslim and uses false name and internet knowledge to give stupid comments and force us to reply to him..

 why are you saying baseless things, Its not banned anywhere. Don’t just say the things which come into your mind without understanding them properly. Your message is foolish, ignorant and a comment without any responsibilities

 

@ sheikh ibrahim, 

well said sir, I am sure your qualified and understand the Quran very well. 

But  atleast they are doing there part -what you are doing. If you have mashallah this concern then work for the cause - teach them quran and do something about it insted of just complaining.

 

Now please don’t give excuse that you cant ? 

Because you haven’t tried.

 

in 1 hour a week , will also make a difference, 

If you can’t then please try and hire an imam for 1 hour a week. 

If you can’t even do that then donate 100 rupees a week to help that cause and help them learn Quran. 

If 100 rs is to much then try 10 rs. if every one will do something insted of complaining the world will definately be better place.

 

Insha’Allah 

 

Do you have any proof for your blabbering, or its just coming out forged by your hatred for the community? 

As per Israel – it is believed to be anti-Islamic by many, some people support Israel just for its alleged agenda.

 But to your allegation of SDPI backing “jihad against kafirs” if your definition of jihad is just like ISIS/RSS -then you are legally obliged to provide proof for your allegation and put the culprits behind bar, serving our great nation. If not then this is just a defamation.

@yogesh , so you haven’t heard about saffron terrorist? 

all RSS people are where and will remain Hindus!!. Further many people wear the mask of Muslims but very few are Muslims. Also the leaders name of IS is said to be Simon Elliot. In military standard false flag operation were common by Israeli before , This is just an advance tactic, A

lso if what SDPI is saying in this particular matter is right shouldn’t you say it to be right. D

isagree with them or any one where they are wrong, But not when they are right.

@ unknown( coward/hypocrate) using false identity.

By your logic 

 

 

I don’t believe this but its just to answer the retard who drew the conclusion

 

Nathuttam godse = killer of the father of our great nation 

Hence, godse = enemy of India

godse = hindu

Hence proved 

Hindu = enemy of India ?

 

Further, 

All religion / country have there black sheeps and terrorist. 

If you are sensible you can not generalise or sterocast people.

Please watch an interview which was done in 1990 youtube "

ISIS=Israeli Secret Intelligence Service"

 

 

In an excerpt from a 1990 C-SPAN interview with Brian Lamb, Dan Raviv and Yossi Melman, authors of the book Every Spy a Prince: The Complete History of Israel’s Intelligence Community, describe how the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office officially refers to its subordinate organization “the Mossad”

Udupi: The pontiffs of Sri Paryaya Puttige Mutt, the sacred seat of Jagadguru Shrimad Madhvacharya Moola Samsthanam, have submitted a proposal to the Prime Minister seeking comprehensive development for Udupi district. 

Proposal for International Airport

A key request is the establishment of an international airport. Highlighting that around 1,000 acres of land are available and suitable, the pontiffs noted that the existing Mangalore Airport provides limited international connectivity. They suggested the airport be developed under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) or as a Greenfield Airport to boost trade, education, healthcare, and spiritual tourism.

Metro and Rapid Transit Connectivity

The proposal also calls for Metro Rail or Rapid Transit between Mangaluru and Udupi. The 55 km coastal stretch experiences heavy daily commuter traffic, causing congestion. The district administration is ready to prepare an initial project report for a Mass Rapid Transit corridor and requested inclusion under national urban mobility programmes to ensure safe, green, and time-efficient regional transport.

Port and Coastal Development

The pontiffs urged the development of an international-standard port with a cruise terminal along Udupi’s coast. They also requested fast-tracking of pending coastal tourism projects and revising Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) norms to encourage sustainable infrastructure and hospitality investment.

IT, AI and Technological Infrastructure

Support was sought for an IT and AI Innovation Park with incubation facilities under Digital India and Startup India initiatives. The proposal also emphasized the need for strengthened data security and cloud computing infrastructure to boost India’s technological independence.

Sports and Education Initiatives

The pontiffs requested national sports status for Kambala, along with financial and infrastructure support. They also sought the establishment of an AIIMS in Udupi, a new IIT campus, and approval for an IIM to promote higher education in the district.

Representation to the Prime Minister

Sri Sugunendra Tirtha Pontiff and Sri Sushrendra Tirtha Swamiji represented the pontiffs in submitting the comprehensive development proposal to the Prime Minister during his recent visit.

Mangaluru, Nov 28: Karnataka Health Minister and Dakshina Kannada district in-charge minister Dinesh Gundu Rao on Friday handed over Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, highlighting the severe distress faced by farmers due to crashing crop prices.

PM Modi arrived at the Mangaluru International Airport en route to Udupi, where Gundu Rao welcomed him and submitted the letter. The chief minister’s message stressed that farmers are suffering heavy losses because maize and green gram are being bought far below the Minimum Support Price (MSP). The state urged the Centre to immediately begin procurement at MSP.

According to the letter, Karnataka has a bumper harvest this year—over 54.74 lakh metric tons of maize and 1.98 lakh metric tons of green gram—yet farmers are unable to secure fair prices. Against the MSP of ₹2,400/MT for maize and ₹8,768/MT for green gram, market rates have plunged to ₹1,600–₹1,800 and ₹5,400 respectively.

The chief minister has requested the Centre to:

• Direct NAFED, FCI and NCCF to start MSP procurement immediately.
• Ensure ethanol units purchase maize directly from farmers or FPOs.
• Increase Karnataka’s ethanol allocation, citing high production capacity.
• Stop maize imports, which have depressed domestic prices.
• Relax quality norms for green gram, allowing up to 10% discoloration due to rains.

The letter stresses that MSP is crucial for farmer dignity and income stability and calls for swift central intervention to prevent a deepening crisis.
