OPINION | How PFI leaders are spreading venom through lies, hate speeches

India TV News  

Members of a self-styled outfit called Muslim Defense Force 24*7 in a WhatsApp group message sent to Muslim families in South Canara district of Karnataka have threatened to take action against women who move around in streets without veil. In my prime time show ‘Aaj Ki Baat’ on Thursday night, I showed the video of Mohammed Shakif, national secretary of PFI, spewing venom against Hindus and the BJP government at the Centre. Let rich Muslims come forward and join the battle.” In the video taken on April 29 in Mysuru, during an ‘iftar’ event organised by PFI, this leader says, “If you do not have cases slapped against you, you don’t deserve to be called a leader. Majidi said, “on January 26 this year, PFI had passed a resolution to launch “Save Democray” movement in India, but in effect, it is not a ‘Save Democracy’ movement but a ‘Divide India’ movement. Our association is raising its voice against PFI, and we have asked the Centre and state governments to impose a ban on this outfit.” Sufian Nizami, the spokesman of Darul Uloom Firangi Mahal, a renowned Muslim institution of Lucknow having millions of followers, has said that no such outfit must be allowed to spread hate.
