The Popular Front of India has rubbished the allegations made by Bihar Police linking the organisation to the arrest of three men from Patna, who the police claim were part of a “potential terror module”. PFI said that allegations are devoid of any substance and accused the police of creating an “imaginary story of “terror plot” by implanting fake documents.”
The Bihar Police on Thursday revealed the arrest of three alleged members of PFI in Patna and claimed to have seized documents on an alleged plan to “establish rule of Islam in India by 2047” from them.
Slamming the police allegation, PFI National Secretary, Muhammed Shakif said that the documents were “purely fabricated”, and added that the group has never published or distributed anything like that.
“This document first surfaced in the public domain when the UP Police included it in a chargesheet of a case from Basti, UP. Anyone who reads that document will definitely reach a conclusion that it is nothing but a fabricated one,” Shakif said in a press note.
He accused the Bihar Police of being a “larger inter-state conspiracy to build fabricated cases against Popular Front.”
“There seems to be a common trend in different states to target Popular Front through a set of uniform modus operandi which indicates that it is part of a political decision against the organisation coming from a single table,” he said.
