Controversial pro-Maoist activist Swami Agnivesh attended a programme organised by Socialist Democratic Party of India (SDPI), the political wing of pro-jihadi outfit Popular Front of India, in Delhi on Wednesday. Speaking at the function, Agnivesh called upon Indian Muslims to take an active role in politics.
Swami Agnivesh has been taking up issues raised by pro-jihadi and Maoist elements. There are allegations that he attacks Hindu festivals and rituals to keep these forces in good humour. According to noted Muslim intellectual Prof MN Karassery, the Popular Front and Jamiat-I-Islami have been cultivating and funding Left intellectuals and social activist to hide their nefarious activities.
Agnivesh extended all support to efforts of SDPI. The extremist Islamic organisation follows Wahabism and some of its members have left the shores to fight for Islamic State. Agnivesh’s support to SDPI has in fact strengthened the allegation that he is promoting the agenda of Breaking India forces. Activists of SDPI were involved in the recent ‘WhatsApp hartal’ in which many Hindus were manhandled and places of worship and business attacked.
