Activities edit

The 2016 Jisha murder case spawned agitation throughout Kerala for speedier justice. The SDPI stopped Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, who had come to Perumbavur to meet with relatives of the slain woman. After his visit, Chandy said that the investigations were being conducted efficiently.[6]

Education for the poor edit

In line with the Right to Education Act, the SDPI sought to reserve 25 percent of private-school seats in Tamil Nadu's Tirunelveli district for the 2015 academic year. Its petition to the district collector also asked for transparency in school admissions and fees.[7]

Protests against government and police edit

The SDPI held protests across India against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), and burned copies of the bill.[8][9][10] In Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, members of SDPI hoisted national flags at their homes and shops.[11][12] Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan accused the party of using the CAA protests to create division.[13]

The SDPI supported protesting farmers in Delhi, and conducted statewide protests in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Kerala. On 26 January 26 2021 in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, party members carried a coffin made from banana leaves, bamboo trees, and vegetables to demonstrate that the farm laws do not safeguard the farmers' interests.[14] In Karnataka, SDPI members and others rallied in Belthangady to support the farmers' protest.[15]

In April 2015, the party protested a fatal police encounter with 20 workers from Tamil Nadu who were working in the state of Andhra Pradesh. The SDPI accused AP police of cloaking their attack as self-defence and demanded that the government lodge a criminal case against the police officers responsible for the killings.[16][failed verification]

Road demand edit

In February 2016, around 30 SDPI members attempted to hold a "sleeping protest" in front of the Divisional Office of the Department of Highways, demanding the repair of the Palayamkottai–Papanasam road in Tamil Nadu. Other political parties and the public had repeatedly appealed to the Department of Highways to have the 52-kilometre (32 mi) stretch of road re-laid. Officials had ignored the demands, wanting to re-lay only the stretches used by ministers and other VIPs during Tamil Nadu Governor Konijeti Rosaiah's visit to Manonmaniam Sundaranar University.[17]

=== In December 2016, the SDPI organized a nationwide campaign demanding the reconstruction of Babri Masjid on its original site; the mosque had been demolished in December 1992.[18] During the campaign, the Dakshina Kannada SDPI district president was arrested for inciting communal hatred with a skit about the demolition.[19][20] Protests were held in Tamil Nadu, Delhi, and Karnataka.[21][22]

In March 2016, Mathrubhumi reprinted an offensive comment about Muhammad which had been initially posted on Facebook. The newspaper was forced to apologise after the party and other organizations protested outside Mathrubhumi's offices, saying that the post "hurt the sentiments of the community".[23]

COVID-19 pandemic edit

On 28 April 2020, the Tamil Nadu SDPI filed public interest litigation (PIL) in the Madras High Court requesting the transport home of Tabligh Jamaat attendees from the state who were stranded in Delhi and other states. On 13 May 2020, the court directed the Tamil Nadu government to arrange transport and a quarantine facility for attendees stranded in Delhi.[24][25]

The party also filed PIL in Madras High Court on 16 April 2020 alleging media bias in coronavirus news,[26] seeking adherence with the Supreme Court's order to publish official information on the pandemic.[27]

Charges and accusations edit

Extremism edit

Two orthodox Sunni groups accused the SDPI of extremism after the murder of a university student.[28]

Murders of CPI-M, Youth League and Congress workers edit

Nine PFI and SDPI activists were found guilty of killing a Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI-M) worker in 2008.[29] SDPI activists were found guilty of murdering a Muslim Youth League worker in Kozhikode.[30] SDPI members were arrested for the murder of a Congress worker in Chavakkad.[31] Several SDPI offices have been raided by the Kerala Police.[32][33] Suspected weapons-training camps and arms stockpiles were seized in Narath, Kannur district from the offices and other centres of the PFI and SDPI.[34][35] Although the party denied any involvement, the charge sheet filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) blamed the PFI and the SDPI for conducting arms-training camps across Kerala as health-awareness camps and yoga classes.[36][37] According to the FIR, the 24 people accused in the case were members of the PFI and the SDPI. Cases were registered under sections 143, 147, 153(B), R/W[clarification needed] 149 of the IPC, section 5(1)(a) r/w 25(1)(a) of Arms Act, section 4 of the Explosives Act and section 18 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.[38][39][40]

Four SDPI activists were arrested for an attack on two CPI(M) members in Mangalam, Tirur on 29 January 2014.[41][42] The SDPI accepted responsibility after a video of the violent attack was aired by major television channels. The party justified the attacks, however, saying that it needed to safeguard its members. According to the SDPI district president, the attack was an emotional reaction by its members to a CPM attack on one of its members that morning.[43]

Murder of RSS members edit

A 23-year-old RSS worker was hacked to death in February 2021, allegedly by SDPI workers. The BJP observed a hartal to protest the killing.[44] In December of that year, SDPI state secretary K. S. Shan was hacked to death by a group affiliated with RSS. According to the police, Shan's death was in retaliation to the February murder of the RSS' Nandu by SDPI workers.[45] BJP OBC leader Ranjith Sneenivasan was then murdered in his home; police speculated that Sneenivasan's murder was connected to the previous two. SDPI leaders were arrested during the following days.[46]

Anti-CAA violence edit

A police investigation found that Kerala Muslims were involved in Mangaluru anti-CAA violence. Police alleged that provocative messages were shared by groups related to the PFI and the SDPI. Two people were arrested in connection with the violence and notices were issued to 30 others, including members of the PFI and SDPI.[47]

Controversy edit

2014 Independence Day edit

A private school in Karicode, Kerala, removed "Vande Mataram" from their 2014 Independence Day programme after SDPI workers threatened to disrupt the programme; some of the song's words, they said, opposed Muslim religious beliefs. Fearing trouble, school authorities dropped the national song and a namaste gesture from a dance number. The issue sparked protests from the youth organisations of several parties. The SDPI justified the changes to the programme, saying that the party approached the school after several parents complained that some words in "Vande Mataram" and the namaste gesture opposed their religious beliefs.[48][49][50]

2020 Bangalore riots edit

On the night of 11 August 2020, violent clashes took place in the city of Bangalore, Karnataka. Provoked by an inflammatory Facebook post about Muhammad which was shared by the nephew of Indian National Congress state legislator Akhanda Srinivas Murthy, a crowd of Muslims arrived at his house for a protest which turned violent. Clashes between police and the crowd spread to the KG Halli and DJ Halli police stations. A curfew was imposed, and three people were killed after police opened fire on the crowd. Dozens of police officers and several journalists were injured by armed assailants, and Murthy's property was torched during the violence. The following day, over 100 people were arrested. Some protesters were reportedly led by SDPI members, and several party leaders were arrested.[51]

Sedition charges edit

On 31 December 2020, SDPI workers reportedly caught shouted "Pakistan Zindabad" slogans in Karnataka; sedition charges were filed against them.[52][53] The SDPI denied the allegations.[54]

Hijab dispute edit

Hijabs were brought to the attention of Karnataka media by Ansar Ahmed, district president of Karnataka Rakshana Vedike.[55] The Campus Front of India (CFI), the student wing of the PFI,[56][57] threatened a protest; this prompted the junior college to request a police presence.[55] The SDPI also reportedly threatened to protest.[58] College authorities met with the parents, and remained firm in their resolution not to allow religious attire.[59][60]

The SDPI Is represented in 16 Indian states: Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Goa, Maharashtra, Puducherry, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Bihar, Delhi, Rajasthan, Haryana and Manipur.
