Around 200 NIA officers with CAPF n State Police were standing outside of their home, waiting for the order from command center.
Planned time was 4 AM when sleep is the deepest
One person sitting at Delhi was coordinating all
AT 3:30 AM
half hour before planned time
He said "Go"
From Azad maidan to Shaheen baag, From Kerala murders to Rajasthan n UP riots, one name that constantly coming in news was PFI
IB told to MoHA "SIMI is back"
SIMI was Mslm extremists org, active in late 90s n early 20s was responsible for lot of terror incidents
In 2001 it was banned by Vajpayee govt n by Supreme court in 2008
PFI was formed in 2006 n kept growing in India.
In 2019, Modi govt brought CAA n PFI got tool to brainwash Mslms that BJP n RSS want to throw them out of country n they started to grow rapidly
5 years before OM (Operation Midnight)
Modi govt received input from IB that PFI is working for Gazwa A Hind
- They r radicalizing Mslm by showing fear of RSS
- They r dividing Hindu on calling RSS as anti SC/ST/OBC
Matter was sensitive.
A meeting held between Modi n Mohan Bhagwat
It was decided that RSS n BJP both will reach to Muslims, SC, ST, OBC to diffuse PFI plan.
A united enemy is always powerful
before attack, first make them weak
President of PFI belongs to Ashraf community n there is rivalry between Ashraf and Pasmanda
Modi reached to Pasmanda n further weaken their plan to become whole and sole leader of all Muslims
6 months before from OM (Operation Midnight)
A high level meeting was organized at MoHA
Amit Shah, Ajit Doval, NIA, IB officers attended
Amit Shah asked one question - sud we ban PFI ?
Half of officer said "Yes" n half said "No"
Amit Shah asked to Doval what he thinks.
He said- Give me some time
A joint team was made of IB and ED
IB was asked to crack how PFI works
ED was asked to crack their funding
Both started working on it n collected lot of info
2 months before OM
NIA cracked down PFI cell in Bihar with help of Bihar Police n recovered an imp document
Though they were aware about all PFI activities but this document exposed the plan of PFI in public
53 days before OM
Ajit Doval meets to Muslim dharma gurus in an Interfaith meeting. A resolution was passed by Muslim dharma guru that all the anti national and divisive org must be banned
PFI was aware that they can be banned any time so they already have made Plan B
They have made various other org SDPI, Campus Front of India, NWF, AIIC, All India Legal Council, HRDF, SDTU, Rehab India Foundation
So that if govt ban PFI, they can carry by other name
1 month before OM
Doval presented his plan n plan was Operation Midnight
Despite of banning PFI, first destroy it.
Biggest raid of Indian history
Arrest all PFI key decision makers at same time
20 days before OM
Modi went to Kochi for inauguration of INS Vikrant, Doval also went there with him.
He talked to Police DGP n told him about the plan.
from there he went to Mumbai and stayed at Governor House n met to NIA officers n told them abt plan
3 days before OM
A joint meeting was organized between NIA, IB and ED in presence of Doval and Amit Shah n where Doval presented the whole plan
Plan was a joint team of NIA and ED will raid of 93 locations of PFI on the midnight of 22nd Sep n will arrest all together
If they don't arrest them together then PFI second command leaders will create unrest in India n will hide evidence so its necessary to arrest them all together
What can be law n order situation was analyzed
Plan was there sud not get any sympathy n support from Mslm orgs
1 day before OM
A team of
200 NIA officers
ED officers
4 IG
1 ADG
16 SP
1000 State police
was made
6 control centers were made to coordinate and one command center at New Delhi. From there Ajit Doval coordinated all.
Operation Midnight
PFI was unaware abt operation. They knew they were unreakable
All went to home for sleep
Operation started at 1 PM Midnight
93 locations of 11 states were identified on basis of inputs of IB
team of NIA n ED reached to their house n started to wait for orders
Police force was kept as second shield to stop any help of PFI volunteers to reach operation site
Time was scheduled 4 AM
but half hour before time, Doval said from Delhi - Go
And Joint team started raid, they entered in their house and didnt give them moment to think n arrested
and confiscated all necessary things.
As news spread abt raid, PFI volunteers started to reach but stopped by police already deputed.
Raid was over by 5 AM
106 PFI leaders arrested including their President, secretory and state IN charge
150+ mobile phones
50+ laptops
Vision documents
Enrollment forms
Bank documents
confiscated by NIA and ED Team
By morning of Thursday, PFI was disarrayed without banning
PFI tried to play religion card but cud not get support from Muslims as it was already diffused
No Muslim dharma guru supported them.
One of the most powerful org of India was destroyed in a night.
NIA n ED will further check the things that they have recovered n will take more actions.
PFI will try to fight back with help of their supportive political parties, lawyers
NGO n Judiciary
Fight will go long but it will not be easy for them.
Operation Midnight was one of the finest executed operation of the world and probably saved India from their vicious vision 2047
