Bengaluru, Oct 14: Popular Front of India, which is facing the prospect of a ban by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government, is all set to flaunt its strength in Karnataka as thousands of its members across the state are toiling restlessly to make the organisation’s grand conference in Bengaluru a grand success.

The organisers expect unprecedented turnout for its conference being held at the Palace Ground with a slogan “we also have something to say” on October 15. Women and children are also expected to take part in large numbers. The social media cell of the PFI has been actively campaigning for over a fortnight. For past couple of days it is trying to trend #BengaluruWithPFI on twitter. The organisers have also sought the support of JD(S) leader supremo H D Deve Gowda and a few other prominent politicians in the state.

According to a release issued by the organisers, the cultural activities will begin at 1 p.m. and the formal programme would be inaugurated at 2:30 p.m. by E Abubaker, Chairman of PFI. Muhammed Saqib, the State President of Popular Front will preside over the conference.

H D Deve Gowda, Oscar Fernandes, Former Union Minister, Moulana Muhammed Umrain Mehfooz Rahmani, National Secretary, All India Muslim Personal Law Board, Jnanaprakash Swamiji, Urilingapeddi Mutt, Mysuru, K.S. Puttannaayya, MLA, Melukote, Zameer Ahmed, MLA, Chamarajapete, Naseer Ahmed, Chairman, Minority Commission, Karnataka, B T Lalita Nayak, Former Minister, AK Subrayya, Former President, Kannada Pustaka Pradhikara, Kodihalli Chandrashekhar, State President, Rajya Raita Sangha, Hasirusene, B.

Hanumanthayya, former MLC, Mohan Raj, State President, Dalit Swabhimani Sangarsha Samiti, B.R.Bhaskar Prasad, State Convenor, Dalit Damanitara Swabhimani Vedike, are the invited guests.

A release issued by the PFI state that the organisation has its presence throughout the country with many lakhs as its members and many more lakhs as its supporters. “From its inception, it has been trying to empower the downtrodden by actively engaging them in social, educational, professional and political fields. For decades, the organization has been resisting democratically against the fascist forces. These forces, apart from spreading hatred in the society, are working vigorously against some of the fundamental rights guaranteed to each and every citizen of the country,” it said.

“After the BJP came to the power in the Centre the denial of the fundamental rights has become rampant. Anyone critical of the Government or the BJP is promptly labeled “anti-national”. The licenses of thousands of NGOs have already been cancelled by this government. It has banned IRF, the organization founded by the religious scholar Zakir Naik. Various other organizations are in verge of getting banned. The activists have been falsely accused, defamed, imprisoned for the crime of criticizing the Government. Numerous false allegations were made on Teesta Setalvad, which has made her embroil in legal battle against the state. Criticizing the government is now considered as an act of treason,” it said.

“The BJP has been misusing the investigative agencies for political purposes. The NIA is allegedly investigating PFI as it is critical of BJP and RSS. A few media houses which have become the propaganda tool of the current regime have been spreading lies against the organization. To expose the lies spewed by them and unveil the truth, the organization has started a countrywide campaign with the rallying cry “We also have something to say”. Various programs including massive conferences have already been held throughout the country,” it added.

Yediyurappa appeals for support to 'Janata Curfew'

News Network

March 21,2020

Bengaluru, Mar 21: Appealing for support to the Prime Minister's call for observing 'Janata Curfew' on Sunday to contain the outbreak of COVID-19, Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa has asked people not to come on roads immediately after the end of curfew time as it can nullify the measure.

Noting that people have extended both moral and societal support to this unique curfew, he said "Now, my appeal to people on behalf of Prime Minister Narendra Modiji is, don't come on roads and out of your dwellings immediately after nine in the night when curfew time ends. Remain settled in your houses and bungalows avoiding all public appearances on roads and other public places."

"Your coming out in open can nullify the 14-hour measure to contain the spread of virus. As a co-operation to authorities and the society, please remain indoors and stay with your near and dear ones," he said in a release.

Calling for "resolve and restraint" to fight the virus, the Prime Minister during his address to the nation on Thursday had asked the entire country to observe 'Janata curfew' on Sunday.

Calling for a 'Janata curfew' on March 22 from 7 am-9 pm, Modi had said no citizen, barring those in essential services, should get out of their house, and asserted that it will be a litmus test to show how much India is ready to take on the challenge of the coronavirus pandemic.

Stating the Karnataka government has so far been dealing successfully in containing the Covid-19 virus, Yediyurappa said this has happened because of people's co- operation.

He also asked people not to forget to involve in a bout of applause as a mark of appreciation to people involved in containing the spread of the virus and treating those affected by it.

Three new COVID-19 cases have been confirmed in Karnataka on Saturday, taking the total number of infections to 18 in the state.
