The murder of RSS leader Sreenivasan in broad daylight is a clear indication that anti-national entities like PFI are expanding their footprint in the state. SDPI, the political arm of the controversial outfit Popular Front has been actively involved in anti-national, anti-social, and anti-secular activities ever since its inception. In the last two years, the terror incited by PFI/SDPI would outweigh the crimes committed by some of the popular terrorist organizations in the world. So, why is SDPI still functioning as a political entity in this democratic nation is the bigger question.

Out of the innumerous acts of crime including communal polarization, kidnapping, hate campaigns, rioting, etc., here’s a list of the political murders and anti-national activities carried out by PFI/SDPI in the recent past:

• Murder of CPIM worker Naroth Dileepan
• Murder of Muslim league worker Naseerudeen in Kozhikode
• Murder of Congress leader P Noushad
• Narath Arms training case: NIA filed a charge sheet for conducting arms training camps across Kerala
• Weapons seized in Narath from the offices of SDPI/PFI
• Attack on CPIM workers in Mangalam, Tirur
• Murder of RSS leader Nandu
• Murder of BJP OBC leader Ranjith Sreenivasan
• Murder of RSS leader Sreenivasan
• Bengaluru riots
• Stopping the Independence day program for singing Vande Mataram
• Raising Pakistan Zindabad slogans in Karnataka
• Plotting to kill MP Tejaswi Surya
• Links with terrorist organizations

In 2012, the Kerala government in its report to Kerala High Court had stated that PFI had active involvement in 27 murder cases. However, the criminal organization continues to instigate terror in the state by forming 'unholy alliances' with some of the leading parties. Of late, SDPI extremists are targeting RSS members and their families with an intention to crush the ideology of nationalism championed by the latter. It’s high time the central government intervenes and dismantles this anti-national party before it matures into a fully-functional terrorist organization.
