<b> New Islamic outfit has cops on alert</b>
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The formation of a new Islamic outfit, Popular Front of India (PFI), which is an umbrella organisation of three outfits - Karnataka For Dignity (KFD), Karnataka, Manitha Neethi Pasarai (MNP), Tamil Nadu, and National Development Front (NDF), Kerala, has caused concern to the police of the three states.
PFI, which is holding a three-day <b>'Empower India' </b>conference in Bangalore from February 15, claims "to <b>co-ordinate and strengthen grass root level developmental activities throughout the country</b>". Prior to the formation of the PFI, the three organisations have been conducting regular classes and meetings in their respective states and driving home the point that a larger front is needed in South India, sources said.
Though the organisation's agenda has been well <b>spelt out-democracy and social justice-</b>state police fear that the organisation had been set up to propagate hardline ideology and are closely monitoring its activities.
What is worrying the police is the fact that <b>majority of the leaders of this new front belong to the now banned SIMI. </b>
The decision to launch PFI had been taken at a conference of KFD, MNP and NDF held on November 22, 2006, at Calicut. The leaders of PFI include K M Shareef, President of KFD, Gulam Muhammed (MNP) and Abdurahman Baqavi of NDF. The PFI has decided to confine their activities to south India, sources said. Sources in the Home dept said the PFI had been active mainly in costal Karnataka area and Bangalore city. Police suspect the outfit's role in the recent violence in Mangalore and Udupi districts. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
