  • Social media is rife with an image of men standing in a uniform with a claim that they are members of an army of Muslims built by the Popular Front of India (PFI) in Kerala. The Quint, however, found that the said image shows the cadre of the youth wing of Indian Union Muslim League (IUML). CLAIM The claim along with which the said image is being shared reads: "भारत के खिलाफ लड़ने के लिए केरल में PFI द्वारा निर्मित मुस्लिम सेना" [Translation: An army of Muslims built by PFI in Kerala to fight against India] WHAT WE FOUND OUT We ran a reverse image search on the viral photo and found a similar image on the Facebook page of the youth wing of Indian Union Muslim League. We compared the viral image with the one uploaded by IUML on Facebook and found that the uniform in both the images is same. The IUML is a political outfit recognised by the Election Commission of India. Next, we reached out to PK Feroze, the General Secretary of Muslim League in Kerala who told us that the image is indeed of the IUML cadre. "People seen in the viral image are members of the volunteer wing of Indian Union Muslim League. These people participate in social and relief work organised by the party."PK Feroze, IUML General Secretary, Kerala We also found a report by The Quint, which carried an image of the cadre of Popular Front of India (PFI) in uniform, which is visibly different from that seen in the viral image. We then reached out to PFI General Secretary Anis Ahmed, who told us that the people seen in the viral photo are not affiliated with the popular front in any capacity and the organisation does not have any "Muslim army" to participate in wars. Clearly, an unrelated image of the youth wing of a political outfit in Kerala is being shared with a false claim that it shows a Muslim army built by the Popular Front of India.
