Abhijit Ray, Kolkata:The Muslim fundamentalist organization ‘Popular Front of India’ is associated with Al Qaeda. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) said this recently in a court in Kerala. The investigating agency said the leaders of the banned organization were in regular contact with the top leadership of Al Qaeda.According to sources, the NIA has recently submitted a report on the Popular Front of India (PFI) in a court in Kerala. Central investigators said that the leaders of the banned organization in India were in regular contact with the international terrorist organization Al Qaeda.Note that the investigators claim that PFI is behind the Bengaluru riots in 2020. The Muslim fundamentalist organization ‘Popular Front of India’ was also alleged to be behind the clashes in Assam surrounding the eviction campaign in 2021. The central government banned the Popular Front last September after NIA raids across the country. In addition to the PFI, eight other organizations are banned under the Anti-Terrorism Act.Incidentally, detectives suspect that Al Qaeda’s ‘terror funding’ has taken place from the outskirts of Kolkata. Meanwhile, they are also trying to find out how much contact the banned organization Popular Front has with Al Qaeda suspected militants. The news came to the intelligence that the leaders of Indian Al Qaeda and Ansarul Bangla Team (ABT) used to receive money from abroad for making modules and sleeper cells.For the past few months, the officials of the Special Task Force of Kolkata Police got some information in this matter by arresting Faizal, Hasnat, a member of Al Qaeda. The name of teacher Azizul Haque, a resident of South 24 Parganas Mathurapur, came to the hands of the STF after investigating this matter. Recently, the detectives arrested Azizul Haque and his student Manuddin alias Moniruddin and started investigating this ‘terror funding’.
