One day after the Directorate of Execution (ED) arrested the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) National President MK Faizy in accordance with the Law on Money Laundering (PMLA) for its alleged financial links with the forbidden Popular Front (PFI), CNN-NEWS18 has obtained the popular documents that the PFI has been undergoing the PFI the selection of the candidate and the financing of the absolute exercise of the PFI.

The raids in the locations have discovered numerous incriminating documents that establish the control, financing and supervision of the PFI of the SDPI activities. The evidence reveals that SDPI was strongly based on PFI for daily operations, political decisions, candidates, public programs, frame mobilization and more.

A document entitled “Conceptual clarity on organization and party”, confiscated from the Keral headquarters of the PFI, exposes the true objectives of the outfit: the advancement of an Islamic movement in India through different forms of jihad. “While it comes in internally as an Islamic movement, the PFI appears outside as a social movement and uses SDPI and other front organizations such as NCHRO and NWF to reach their goals,” sources for CNN-News18 said. During the interrogation, Faizy, when faced with the document, confirmed that the “organization” was PFI and the “party” is SDPI.

Another document, a letter addressed “Faizy Sahab” and also found at the Kerala headquarters of the PFI, details the “Candidate Selection Procedures” for the State Assembly and the parliamentary elections. This document confirms the direct involvement of the PFI in the SDPI candidate’s selection process. The document is identified as M. Mohd.

The document highlights the control of the PFI over the internal functions of the SDPI, including the Direction of the SDPI over the parliamentary constituencies and the role of the state secretariat in short -term interviews and interviews. When faced, Faizy confirmed that “NWC” in the document refers to the National Work Committee and acknowledged that SDPI implements some points presented in the document.

Moreover, “Faizy Sahab” is confirmed to be MK Faizy, SDPI president, solidifying the evidence that PFI, through Faizy, has controlled and commanded SDPI.

“Jihad the final goal”

“Jihad is the final goal of both PFI and SDPI. SDPI was based on PFI for daily operations and funding since its establishment. While engaging in social and political activities, their true goal was to promote jihad without resorting to fear tactics such as issuing fatwas, ”the sources said.

An investigation of the Execution Directorate (ED) against the PFI and its associates under the PMLA revealed the financial activities of the organization. The investigation, initially launched by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in Kochi in 2013 and subsequently transferred to NIA Delhi in 2022, discovered a conspiracy involving PFI members collecting funds internally and internationally. These funds, obtained through various channels, including banking, Hawala and donations, have been used to finance terrorist activities throughout India.

The searches made on December 3, 2020, at the PFI offices and the residences of the members, gave incriminating documents and digital evidence. This evidence suggests PFI control over SDPI finance and activities. “It became clear that SDPI, with community members and leaders, acted as a PFI front. The dependence of the PFI SDPI for decisions, the selection of candidates, the planning of the events and the mobilization of the frames has been exposed. “

Despite 12 cities, Faizy tried to evade the authorities. “His role as national president of SDPI is crucial for the investigation. He was a member of the PFI from his establishment until 2009 and he joined SDPI at his training, later becoming his national secretary. During the interrogation, Faizy denied any connection between SDPI and PFI, claiming that SDPI had not received any funding from the PFI. He also denied the knowledge about the incriminating documents presented, stating that SDPI has not received any foreign funding. “

Common resources reveal the connection

However, sources said that SDPI is only the PFI front with common frames and members. “Research suggests that they shared common cars. SDPI was founded in 2009 with E Abu Backer and Simi P Koya member. According to top leaders, they clearly said they are associated with SDPI. They also revealed that several PFI members are also part of SDPI. “

In addition, a top leader member and the National Secretary General of the Campus in front of India – the student wing of the PFI – revealed that SDPI is the political front of the PFI. He also said that his activities are monitored by the special PFI committee through periodic meetings organized every three months.

The superimposed membership of the PFI-SDPI frames, the involvement of the PFI office carriers in the SDPI’s foundation, the use of the other’s assets and deeper investigations found the deeply rooted nexus between these two organizations.
