IAS, IPS, IRS officers trained by Zakat Foundation of India capture key bureaucratic positions in India through the UPSC exam

New Delhi – Since 2009, Zakat Foundation of India has been spending huge amounts of money from the ‘zakat’ funds to provide scholarships and training to Muslim aspirants to help them qualify in the UPSC exam. A large number of Zakat Foundation of India beneficiaries are now serving as IAS, IFS, IPS, IRS officers and in other central services. Ms. Madhu Purnima Kishwar, Founder-Editor of ‘Manushi’ website has written to the Prime Minister in which she has exposed the well-planned and meticulously executed sinister conspiracy by Zakat Foundation of India to capture key bureaucratic positions in India through the UPSC exam.

Zakat Foundation of India is rigorously pursuing a Pan-Islamic agenda and has direct as well as indirect links to banned / terrorist organisations including the one headed by absconding Terror-Indoctrinator, Zakir Naik. Indian Government banned Zakir Naik’s Islamic Research Foundation under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 (UAPA).

It is alarming that such a large number of UPSC aspirants trained by Zakat Foundation of India have been recruited in the elite services of India where officers are not only privy to state secrets that have security implications but also part of policymaking and implementation. The full list of 119 Zakat Foundation of India fellows who have joined the Civil services is provided straight from the Zakat Foundation of India website.

Dr. Syed Zafar Mahmood (Indian Revenue Service Officer and Founder- President of Zakat Foundation of India) as an Officer on Special Duty (OSD) in Dr. Manmohan Singh’s PMO was to further this agenda. He was put in-charge of the high-powered Sachar Committee whose report played havoc with facts and data to engineer a sense of victimhood among Muslims. He is currently also the President of Zakat Foundation of India.

The international partner of Zakat Foundation of India is Madina Trust which was involved in an attack on the Indian High Commission in London in September 2019. Dr. Zahid Ali Parvez, a Trustee of Madina Trust, is also a Trustee with the Islamic Foundation. Two Islamic Foundation Trustees were on the UN sanctions list of people associated with the Taliban and Al-Qaeda.

According to Zakat Foundation of India, ‘Organisational activities must comply with the Shariah regulations (under the watchful eye of a Shariat advisory body)’. It is now well established that through ‘Halalo-Nomics’ (the economic empire of Halal certification), Islamists have captured global markets for almost all consumer goods, including medicines, cosmetics and daily groceries.

Ms. Madhu Purnima Kishwar has requested the Prime Minister to act

1. Order a thorough investigation into Zakat Foundation of India’s links with terror Indoctrinator Zakir Naik, Taliban & Al-Qaeda.

2. Pending investigation, recall all the civil servants associated with Zakat Foundation of India.

3. Direct the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to scan each of the UPSC candidates and successful students who have links to Zakat Foundation to assess their level of indoctrination.

4. Issue a White Paper on Zakat Foundation of India & allied organisations with terror links along with a clear policy statement as to whether such organisations pursuing a lethal Pan-Islamic agenda have a place in democratic and plural India.
