Ask Modi govt to ban PFI instead of pressurizing Cong govt: UTK to BJP leaders

Mangaluru, Jun 6: Karnataka’s Minister for food, civil supplies and consumer affairs U T Khader has urged the BJP leaders to ask the Prime Minister Narendra Modi led union government of India to ban Popular Front of India instead of staging protests and demanding the Congress government of Karnataka to ban the outfit.

Speaking to media persons here, the Congress leader said the onus of banning organisations like PFI is on the central government since such groups operate from multiple states including Karnataka, Kerala, Goa, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. The state will also keep tabs on such organizations, said the minister in a query as to whether the state government will ban PFI and other organizations.

"All organizations that are linked to criminal activities should be banned. However, action should be taken by the central government since such organizations operate not only from Karnataka, but also from other states. Hence, the Centre should take a stand in this regard. In the meantime, the state government also will have to consider the matter seriously," Khader said.

Bengaluru, Mar 5: Amulya Leona, the 19-year-old woman who captured a nation’s attention by shouting full-throated slogans, allegedly in support of Pakistan, at a rally in Bengaluru, has reportedly held her composure under grilling by the Special Investigating Team (SIT).

The woman was arrested after her speech to an audience of protesters against the Citizenship Amendment Act on February 19, and was slapped with sedition charges.

Sources in the police said Amulya Leona seemed to be absolutely normal during interrogation by senior cops, unlike most other persons in such circumstances.

Not once throughout the grilling nor in judicial custody did she break down.

Amulya is said to have defended herself on charges that she shouted pro-Pakistan slogans. She made it clear that by speaking out at the rally at Freedom House, she did not mean to support the enemy country and that she was not against India.

Lower-rung officers said Amulya Leona seemed to be considerably influenced by the late firebrand activist Gowri Lankesh, who was shot dead in 2017.

In fact, the policewomen to whose charge she was entrusted right after she was arrested are said to have heaved a sigh of relief when she handed over to custody of prison staff.

An urban legend going around in lower-rung police circles is that Amulya Leona attended the funeral of Gowri Lankesh and fainted near where the late activist was buried. “It’s impossible for a 19-year-old to show such grit. We have seen hardcore criminals breaking down in custody. Forget about breaking down, Amulya Leona is becoming stronger,” they explain.
