PFI pledges to uphold constitutional values, universal brotherhood

Mangalore, October 11: Thousands of enthusiastic Popular Front of India cadres including women and children poured into Nehru Maidan on Tuesday to witness the launch of nationwide publicity campaign for their two-day Social Justice Conference that will be held on November 26 and 27 at Ramlila Maidan in New Delhi under the central theme of “Build the Nation on Justice”.

Delivering the inaugural address at the pre-conference meet, K M Shareef, National General Secretary of PFI said that the main objective of their impending conference was to spread the message of universal brotherhood as well as to strengthen the values mentioned in the Indian constitution. “It is disheartening that today social justice is meant only for 'haves'. In the name of globalisation the government is pushing the people towards slavery”, he said.

He cited findings of the Sachar Committee report to say how large chunks of the minority community had been alienated from the mainstream.

“41 crore of people are suffering from hunger, 42 million children have no access to schools and 20 million children are child labourers in the county. Then, where is the social justice?”, he questioned and added that after independence successive governments were only planning and unveiling attractive schemes for the betterment of the minority and other downtrodden communities, but never implemented a single scheme effectively.

Heavily coming down on Sangh Parivar, Mr Shareef said the major hurdle for the social justice in this country is the existence communal and fascist outfits like RSS.

Dr C S Dwarakanath, former chairman, State Commission for Backward Classes, said PFI has the social responsibility.

Terming the RSS as an anti-Hindu and anti-human organisation, Dr Dwarakanath said one cannot equate PFI to organisations like RSS. RSS is an organisation of Gandhi killer. It doesn't protect Hindus but only Brahminism, he added.

Venkata Swamy, President of Samatha Sainika Dal, underlined the need for creating a broad-based alliance of all oppressed sections, including the minorities, Dalits and backward classes, to ensure social justice.

“Today's programme is a historical which coincided with Advani's Rath Yathra, which has the intention of dividing the nation, whereas PFI holds the conference to build the nation, this is the difference,” he said.


“Advani began his yathra on Valmiki Jayanthi, birthday commemoration of a saint from lower community and they destroyed Babri Masjid on death anniversary of B R Ambedkar. This is their conspiracy,” he said.

He also suggested that 'Ramlila grounds' at New Delhi should be called as “Bheem Leela grounds” as November 26, when the PFI holds national conference, is the date when Constituent Assembly enacted the Indian Constitution in 1949, drafted by Dr B R Ambedkar.

'Not Minorities'

Resenting the usage of word 'minority' to refer Muslims, V T Rajashekhar, Editor of 'Dalit Voice', questioned how could Muslims, who form big half of the population be minority community. “It is Brahminical conspiracy who are only 2% and call themselves as majority.” he said.

In his presidential address Ilyas Muhammad Thumbay, President of Karnataka branch of PFI said that innocent Muslim youths are arbitrarily arrested, falsely implicated and mercilessly tortured in various blasts which were engineered by Sangh Parivar outfits.

Lamenting over 'no permission' to PFI from the government to hold freedom parade citing flimsy reason of law and order problem, he said the same government had granted permission for those who hold torch procession in the preceding night of Independence Day. “You may prevent us from holding public meetings, but you cannot suppress our thoughts,” he said.

Advocate Rafeek Kuttikatoor, Vice Principal of Green Valley Institute Kerala, Pattabhirama Somayaji, Lecturer at Mangalore University College, Majeed Kodlipete, State President of Social Democratic Party of India, Rafiuddin Kudroli of NAIF also spoke.

Dubai, May 9: The wholehearted and collective effort of Karnataka NRI Forum, UAE and its president Mr. Praveen Shetty made it possible to have the first repatriation flight to Mangaluru – Karnataka from UAE. The Union Minister of India Mr. Sadananda Gowda tweeted on May 8th that the evacuation flight will fly from Dubai on May 12th with stranded citizen of India in UAE.

The whole world is under the impact of pandemic Covid 19. Government of India has announced the flights to repatriate its stranded citizens from all over the world. Sadly, the first batch of the announced flights had no mention of any flights from Gulf countries to Karnataka.

In Gulf countries, especially in UAE, thousands of Kannadigas are working for their livelihood. In this population major part is shared by coastal Karnataka people who belong to Mangalore, Udupi and other nearby districts. This lack of consideration of Mangaloreans for repatriation was made whole Kannadiga’s in deep sadness, where as many Kannadiga’s were waiting for flights to obtain urgent medical assistance and other medical support back in their home country.

Once after obtaining the news of not having flights to Karnataka from UAE, Mr. Praveen Shetty immediately actioned and wrote letter to concerned departments and ministers under the banner of KNRI. Mr. Praveen Shetty was in continuous follow up with Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka Dr. Ashwath Narayan, Mr C.T. Ravi Minister for Tourism of Karnataka, Union Minister of India Mr. Sadananda Gowda, Minister of Parliamentary Affairs (India) Mr. Pralhad Joshi, Minister of Railways of India (Minister of State) Mr. Suresh Angadi and officials of Aviation ministry along with other concerned departments.

The efforts have now given the result and finally the confirmation has been obtained from Mr. Sadananda Gowda about consideration of repatriation flights to Mangalore from Dubai on May 14th. It is expected that Aviation ministry will officially announce the flight arrangement and other operational information shortly.

Speaking to media, Mr. Praveen Shetty said, Karnataka NRI Forum is always committed to serve  Kannadigas and the collective effort of core committee members, ministers of Karnataka & Govt of India including the Aviation & other concerned ministries made possible the most important and much awaited flight to Mangalore from UAE to repatriate expats who are in need. I thank each and everyone who joined their hands to make this possible.

Mr. Praveen Shetty is a well-known businessman in UAE who manages Fortune Group of Hotels in UAE & Georgia. He selflessly given his 3-star hotel to UAE ministry to operate as Quarantine facility to people who are under observation with Covid 19. Also, he joined his hands with organizations in UAE who are extending their helping hand to needy people in UAE.

With the help of likeminded businessmen and professionals, the KNRI forum under the leadership of Mr. Praveen Shetty along with ‘Dubai Anivasi Kannadigaru’ started a helpline called “Kannadigas Helpline” through which they received around 3000 requests for food, medical, legal and other assistance. They aided many Covid infected people with quarantine and isolation by the help of Dubai Health Authority, Ministry of Health, Dubai Police and Consulate General of India under the guidelines of Dubai Govt.

Mr. Praveen Shetty expressed his gratitude to Dubai Health Authority, Ministry of Health, Dubai Police and Consulate General of India for their professional guidance and help to Kannadigas during the pandemic Covid 19 situation.
