Ban undemocratic, unconstitutional; allegations are baseless: PFI

New Delhi, Feb 13: The Popular Front of India (PFI) has termed the ban imposed by on it by the Jharkhand state government asundemocratic and unconstitutional.

In a release issued here the PFI said: “From the news carried by a section of media, we came to know that as per a notice issued by the State Home Department on Tuesday, Jharkhand government has banned PFI in the State. We strongly condemn this undemocratic decision of the Jharkhand government, which has imposed the ban on PFI for the second time.”

It said that the allegations as quoted in the Home Department notice are baseless, completely unreliable and misleading. PFI will not be cowed down by such repressive measures and we will fight this injustice through legal and democratic means.

The High Court of Jharkhand on 27th August, 2018 had quashed the previous ban imposed on PFI by the same government on 21st February 2018. The court had made it clear that the State government has failed to prove the charges it made against PFI.

This ban should also be seen in the context of the legal victory achieved in the lynching cases supported by Popular Front in Jharkhand. It is evident that the real motive behind such vendetta against Popular Front is to stop the culture of legal defense and democratic struggle that has been advanced by PFI.

The release said that the PFI has utmost trust in the Judiciary of the country and we are convinced that once again we will be successful in defeating this ban through democratic and legal measures available in our democratic country.

Bengaluru, Jul 29: A day after Congress staged a nationwide 'Save Democracy' protest, Janata Dal (Secular) leader HD Kumaraswamy slammed Congress for "dividing" the political parties and "buying MLAs" and questioned their "democratic behaviour" to lure Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MLAs who supported them.

Kumaraswamy, in a media statement, said, "Is it a democratic behaviour to lure MLAs of other parties through political shenanigans and later merging with them?"

"Congress is an expert in dividing political parties and purchase of MLAs," said Kumaraswamy adding, "If you are dividing the like-minded party MLAs through deceit, who would support you?"

He alleged that the term "horse trade" in politics came to be used because of Congress.

Congress had tied to divide the Janata Dal (Secular) in 2004. To this, he added, "To avoid the party being hijacked by the Congress, I had to oust the Congress-JD(S) coalition government through a political coup."

Kumaraswamy further accused, "Haven't the Congress who is making a big noise about the purchase of MLAs divided the JD(S) in the past? Is it not a fact that for the sake of one Rajya Sabha seat, the Congress government in Karnataka purchased eight JD(S) MLAs?"

Both -- Congress and BJP -- are "criminals" in purchase matter, he added.

Rajasthan Congress is in turmoil after simmering differences between Sachin Pilot and Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot came out in the open. Pilot was removed as the Deputy Chief Minister and the state unit chief of Congress.

The Congress has accused the BJP of indulging in horse-trading to bring down the Gehlot government. The BJP has rejected the allegations.
