New Delhi : Kerala Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan here on Saturday charged the Popular Front of India with aiming to convert Kerala into a Muslim-majority state in the next twenty years.
To achieve their goal, the front leaders were attracting youth in their fold by giving them money and weapons, he alleged.
Addressing a news conference here, the Chief Minister said the Front was indulging in conversions by persuading the youth in the state to marry Muslim women.
He justified his government's crackdown on the Front's activists, saying ''They want to make Kerala a Muslim majority state. They even plan to form a political party by next election.'' The crackdown on PFI activists came in the wake of the attack earlier this month on college professor T J Joseph, which is suspected to be carried out by its members.
Mr Joseph was on his way home, after Sunday Mass, with his mother and sister when he was pulled out of his car, pinned to the ground and his right hand hacked off with an axe by a car-borne gang. He had incorporated a question in his college's internal Malayalam examination that was considered disrespectful to Islamic faith.
The Chief Minister added that the Front was attracting youth in its fold by giving them money and weapons and providing them the necessary training and instructing them to kill its opponents.
