Lucknow, Dec 28: The Uttar Pradesh government is planning to ban Popular Front of India (PFI) here as allegations were made that the organisation had instigated violence in the name of protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019, government sources said.

The state police had earlier arrested three members of PFI in connection with the violent protests in Lucknow on December 19 against the CAA and National Register of Citizens (NRC).

Among those arrested were PFI state president Waseem Ahmad, Nadeem and Ashfaq.

The Act grants citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis, Buddhists and Christians from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.

Comments

Banning PFI is illogic and unconstitutional. The organisation whch should be banned is RSS which is involved in alsmost all the arson + looting incidents in UP. UP Police are seen supporting these RSS goondas in looting. Many RSS goondas in the dress of UP Police took part in looting and putting fire to public + govt property . But UP Govt is very kind to them and appreciating their goondaism and targetting innocents. BJP govt is trying to crush the movement of peaceful people by force.

New Delhi, Jan 7: Services at various bank branches and ATMs are likely to be affected as hundreds of employees will go on a bank strike across the country on Wednesday.

The bank strike is part of the Bharat Bandh call given by trade unions to protest against the labour reforms and economic policies of the Central government, according to reports.

The protestors' main demand during the Bharat Bandh is that the Centre should drop the proposed labour reforms.

A Bill in this regard was passed and proposes to merge 44 labour laws into four codes -- wages, industrial relations, social security, and safe working conditions.
