... (According to) IB sources... the Party of Allah based in Iran... has over eighty branches all over the country... They were active for a long time in Aligarh... However, we cannot rule out the possibility of a bigger communal conflagration in case the VHP and others connected with it launch the next phase of their proposed plan to liberate Hindu shrines from the Muslims.

...The IB is also believed to be investigating the manner in which the Party of Allah from Iran has been able to get a sizeable following in the country. This is in spite of the fact that it is in effect a basically Shia party, and Shias in the country are a minority...

On June 10, 1986 Tehran approved allocations amounting to some $30 million for emergency aid to revolutionary groups coordinated by the Party of Allah abroad. More than 10 per cent of this aid was earmarked for Islamic revolutionary groups coordinated by Pakistanis mostly in the United Kingdom. Pakistani militants are also believed to be playing a key role in the Party of Allah's activities in other countries like Canada, USA and Australia, besides India.

The majority of Indian Muslims remain... unsympathetic to the party's message of bloody revolution and terror against the infidel.

However since 1986, according to intelligence sources, the atmosphere has changed. These sources reveal that after the VHP and the BJP became strident in their demands... the Party of Allah won adherents and supporters...
