Indian Secular Front
The Indian Secular Front (abbr. ISF) is a political party formed in West Bengal by Abbas Siddique, an influential cleric of the shrine of Furfura Sharif in Hooghly district.[1] This party was formed ahead of the West Bengal state election of 2021[2] and joined the Mahajot led by Indian National Congress and Left Front for the 2021 Assembly polls[3] against the Bharatiya Janata Party and All India Trinamool Congress as a alternative.[4][5] However, the Congress leader Anand Sharma slammed the party's decision and calls it "painful and shameful".[6] The party will be contesting the upcoming West Bengal Legislative Assembly election with 30 seats.[7]
