How PFI has turned ‘Love Jihad’ into ‘Land Jihad’ in Jharkhand

India

To
dodge
Chota
Nagpur
Tenancy
Act,
members
of
the
outfit
trap
tribal
girls
into
marriage
and
enjoy
their
property
after
eliminating
them.

Ranchi,
Dec
24:
Radical
Islam
seems
to
have
made
deep
inroads
in
Jharkhand
and
cases
of
‘jihad’ in
different
forms
are
trickling
in
from
the
State
alarmingly
frequently.
The
recent
brutal
murder
of
a
tribal
woman
by
her
Muslim
husband
in
Sahibganj
district
is
a
case
in
point.

The
sequence
of
events
came
to
light
when
Sahibganj
police
arrested
the
accused
Dildar
Ansari,
who
admitted
that
his
family
members
were
also
involved
in
the
murder
plot.
He
also
admitted
that
he
killed
his
22-year-old
wife
Rubika
due
to
the
dispute
over
his
first
marriage
which
she
was
not
aware
of
before
her
marriage
to
Ansari.

As
per
reports,
Ansari
trapped
Rubika
in
a
love
affair
without
revealing
to
her
about
his
previous
marriage.
After
the
first
wife
came
to
know
about
the
second
marriage,
she
started
instigating
Ansari
to
eliminate
her.
Under
constant
pressure
from
his
own
family
and
the
frequent
fights
with
his
first
wife,
Ansari
plotted
to
kill
Rubika.

Why
Islamic
Love
Jihad
is
the
most
dangerous
undercurrent
India
is
facing

Strangely,
apart
from
his
first
wife,
his
brother
and
sister,
even
members
of
his
extended
family
like
his
maternal
uncle
too
helped
him
in
committing
the
crime.
Ansari
has
admitted
that
his
maternal
uncle
was
instrumental
in
hatching
the
murder
plot.
After
killing
Rubika,
he
used
an
electric
cutter
to
cut
her
body
into
50
pieces.
The
matter
came
to
light
when
the
locals
found
a
few
stray
dogs
pouncing
on
a
polythene
bag
containing
the
body
parts.

Spike
in
Love
Jihad
cases

This
is
not
the
only
case
that
has
happened
in
the
recent
past
nor
is
Rubika
the
first
tribal
women
to
be
trapped
in
the
realms
of
Love
Jihad.
In
the
last
few
years,
this
kind
of
incidents
have
proven
to
be
the
modus
operandi
of
the
members
of
banned
Popular
Front
India
(PFI),
an
organisation
of
radical
Muslims
involved
in
subversive
activities
throughout
the
country.

The
PFI
is
now
using
these
Love
Jihad
cases
to
further
its
agenda
of
‘Land
Jihad’.
According
to
sources,
members
of
this
group
have
acquired
around
10,000
acres
of
landed
property
which
originally
belonged
to
the
tribals
earlier.
They
have
turned
it
into
a
tactic
of
land-grabbing
by
marrying
the
tribal
girls
and
appropriating
the
land
they
won
after
eliminating
them.

PFI’s
‘Land
Jihad’ agenda

As
per
the
documents
seized
from
PFI
during
the
nationwide
raids
after
its
ban,
the
outfit
is
working
towards
converting
India
into
an
Islamic
country
and
implement
the
Sharia
laws
here.
Its
document
“India
Vision
2047”
reads:
“From
all
the
cadres
who
are
being
given
PE,
those
with
talent
are
to
be
spotted
and
recruited
to
be
given
advanced
training
on
weapons
including
firearms
and
explosives.”

A
law
against
Love
Jihad
in
Maharashtra
in
the
making
says
Devendra
Fadnavis

“Meanwhile,
Party
should
utilise
concepts
such
as
‘National
Flag’,
‘Constitution’
and
‘Ambedkar’
to
shield
the
real
intention
of
establishing
an
Islamic
rule
and
reach
out
to
SCs/STs/OBCs.
We
would
reach
out
to
the
executive
and
judiciary
and
strive
to
infiltrate
our
members
at
all
levels
to
gather
information
and
get
favourable
outcomes
in
matters
of
our
interest.
Further,
liaisoning
is
to
be
established
with
foreign
Islamic
countries
for
funding
and
other
help.”
This
text
is
part
of
Stage
2
of
the
plan
unearthed
during
the
raids.

Modus
operandi

The
States
having
high
tribal
populations
have
separate
provisions
for
tribals
in
their
tenancy
Acts.
Jharkhand
too
has
got
a
similar
one,
known
as
Chota
Nagpur
Tenancy
(CNT)
Act,
also
called
Santhal
Pargana
Act.
It
prohibits
sale
and
purchase
of
land
that
belongs
to
the
tribal
community
to
outside
people
though
they
can
do
it
within
the
community.
To
dodge
this
kind
of
law,
the
PFI
devise
the
plan
to
trap
and
marry
a
tribal
girl,
after
which
they
can
simply
get
rid
of
her
and
enjoy
her
property.

Many
incidents
of
this
kind
have
been
reported
in
the
past
and
the
trend
has
picked
up
since
2018,
according
to
media
reports.
Raising
the
issue,
former
Chief
Minister
Raghubar
Das
has
pointed
out
8
cases
having
such
a
background
which
have
taken
place
in
and
around
Jamshedpur.

Bihar:
In
clear
case
of
Love
Jihad,
Muslim
man
poses
as
Samir
Khanna
to
marry
Hindu
girl

Speaking
on
the
matter,
Union
Minister
Giriraj
Singh
has
demanded
a
law
against
such
tactical
conversions
and
asked
the
government
to
bring
Muslims
under
caste
census.
He
accused
Muslims
of
taking
advantage
of
the
loopholes
in
the
Act
and
demanded
stricter
laws.
Pointing
out
a
rise
in
Love
Jihad
and
Land
Jihad
cases,
he
accused
the
Hemant
Soren
government
of
Muslim
appeasement.
