PFI wants to turn India into 'Islamic Rule', brands ‘Agnipath’ a scheme for ‘Muslim genocide’: claims Maharashtra ATS

Mumbai, February 10: The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) filed a chargesheet against 5 PFI terrorists, who were arrested during nationwide raids against the proscribed Islamic organisation, for being involved in unlawful activities and conspiracy against the nation.

The five accused – Mazhar Khan, Sadiq Shaikh, Mohammad Iqbal Khan, Momin Mistry and Aasif Hussain Khan were arrested by the Mumbai unit of the Maharashtra ATS for their association with PFI. The 5, who have now been charge-sheeted, were among 20 others who were arrested by Maharashtra ATS. Over 100 terrorists associated with PFI have been arrested by multiple agencies since the crackdown against PFI started.

In its 1,113-page chargesheet filed on February 2, the ATS has cited A seven-page booklet ‘India 2047, Towards Rule of Islam in India’, purportedly recovered from the Vikhroli residence of Mazhar Mansoor Khan, the main accused. The booklet allegedly aims to turn India into an "Islamic rule".

In a chargesheet, ATS has revealed some chilling details of the nefarious designs by the PFI and how its operatives were working to fulfil those plans. It said that PFI wanted to create a split among several communities by projecting the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) as an organisation interested only in the welfare of upper-caste Hindus.

In a chargesheet, they also highlighted that, how PFI was spreading propaganda about the Agnipath scheme by branding it as a tool for “Muslim genocide”. They planned to mobilise Muslims against the Indian state. As per the ATS, PFI had linked the Agnipath scheme to a “Satan Israel-like policy” where in every corner of the country, Hindus with army training would form groups. The army of rioters, who, because of their army training, would not run away if push comes to shove.

Besides, the organisation (PFI) had plans to obtain weapons and ammunition with the help of foreign countries or other organisations to achieve their targets, the ATS claimed.
