Ahead of Union Home Minister Amit Shah's rallies in Bihar's Seemanchal
region, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted raids at the
offices of the Popular Front of India (PFI) in Purnia, Aurangabad and
Araria districts on Thursday.
Shah's consecutive rallies
are scheduled on Friday in Purnia and Saturday in Kishanganj districts.
These two districts are considered as Muslim-dominated districts of
Seemanchal region.
Separate teams of NIA reached the PFI offices
of Purnia and Araria on Thursday morning and investigated the documents
available in them.
Besides Bihar, NIA also conducted raids in Uttar Pradesh, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu as well.
Sources
have said that 106 persons belonging to PFI were also arrested during
the raid. NIA sources have said that this would be the biggest raids
conducted in the country on the PFI.
Following the raid, BJP's
firebrand leader and MP Giriraj Singh slammed Janata Dal-United Chief
and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Rashtriya Janata Dal Chief
Lalu Prasad Yadav for making the state as a shelter home for terrorists.
He also blamed that both the leaders are trying to make PFI a cultural
organisation in the state.
"PFI is a terror organisation in the
country. After the ban of Student Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), its
leaders converted the organisation into PFI and formed sleeper cells in
the state. Nitish Kumar and Lalu Prasad Yadav are responsible for it,"
Singh said.
Meanwhile, Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI)
released a statement in Delhi and its National President M.K. Faizy
condemned the raids by the NIA and the arrest of PFI leaders.
"The
craven fascist regime has completely failed in the development of the
nation and created a shadow enemy of the country to cover up its failure
of governance," the statement said.
