Parcham Party of India
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Parcham Party of India is a political party in India, working amongst the Muslim minority community. PPI was founded by the Indian Muslim Political Conference on 14 April 2003 at an "Azm-e-millat" convention in Aligarh. The president of the party is Saleem Peerzada.
PPI are staunch opponents of the Hindutva movement.
PPI opposes the United States occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The PPI was subject to much controversy during the Aligarh communal riots of 2006, when the PPI's Aligarh chapter President, Parwez Saheb, was arrested with regard to the murder case of O. P. Lala, a prominent leader of the BJP, a far-right party which is widely alleged to have participated violently in the riots. Parwez has since been released without charge and is no longer implicated.
