While the radical Islamic organisation Popular Front of India (PFI) has said that it has come together with TMC to protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act, TMC seems to be distancing itself from it.
The Muslim radicals had attacked the professor as a punishment for the alleged reference to Prophet Mohammed in a question paper that he prepared for an internal exam in 2010.
CM Yediyurappa has accused former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah of being indirectly responsible for the attack on Congress MLA Tanveer Sait saying that the latter's government failed to curb the PFI's activities and provided protection to them.
The Kerala police have arrested a leader of Popular Front of India (PFI) which is an ally of Congress in the state for the brutal murder of Congress worker P Naushad.
PFI was banned by the Jharkhand government in February this year under the Criminal Law Amendment Act for indulging in anti-national activities in the State and having links with terror groups like the ISIS.
The districts of Kannur and Kasargod in Kerala have claimed notoriety in recent years for being the hotbed of ISIS recruitment and radicalisation activities.
