Stop propogating lies as RSS Do . Shimoga violence was ignited by RSS at the end of the rally tale where Women and children were moving along with ...all of a sudden RSS started pelted stones using abusive words which was leaked one of RSS goons video clips....dont play with lies ,,by which you will end up life like Hitler

JAI PFI....and Mr.Shafi Bellare clearly given statement that we have nothing to do with such incident

SayYes to PEACE and INTEGRITY and ISayNo to Lies, Drama to smritiirani and Communal Violence Mastermind is narendramodi

we want safety n security frm daily communal violence,punishment to rioters n rapists

Well modi took us down the wrong path. A path littered with hate, communal violence, intolerance

We need #Azaadi from political pressure groups that instigate communal violence for their own ulterior motives.

I do not support BJP because of their communal politics. I do not support CPM because of their politics of violence:

This is a case of inciting violence and disrupting communal harmony. Pretty sure there are grounds for arrests.

Any Party take the advantage of the poor people for their gain, give respect to the life, Humanity,.

Majority communalism, dangerous in itself, becomes deadly when it becomes the official ideology of the state

RSS is National enemy within. For it Communal violence is not blood of fellow Indians, it is additional votes generated

You find religion in Bharat Mata Ki Jai. But No religion in Allah Hu Akbar during hate speaches and communal violence.

I can't say it often enough: Fascism IS violence. When anti-fascists respond with communal self-defense, it is a heroic action.

Despite of serious communal violence ignited by PFI in shimoga, they r given permission 2 hold rally in Mysuru today Ban PFI,a terrorist outfit

Peaceful Mysuru city is witnessing violence.

I am a strong advocate of non-violence. And it is sad that an RSS man was killed in Mysuru!

Politics even in death, these politicians play!

see goons !!!!

Home Minister and Police dept must take strict action against trouble maker first including the person and groups behind murder. And on groups like BD and their god father, no excuse straight away send them behind bar at least for 6 months.

With in SIX months, all we can experience permanent peace of life all over KARNATAKA.

Karnataka BJP urges Modi govt to ban PFI, SDPI

News Network

January 29,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 29: The Karnataka unit of BJP has urged the Centre and the State governments to ban the Popular Front of India (PFI) and the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), accusing them of harbouring terrorist tendencies.

Addressing a press meet, N Ravi Kumar, state general secretary of the party, alleged that there was a nexus between the Congress, the PFI and the SDPI.

“Recent reports have exposed the links between the PFI and the Congress,” he said, accusing Congress leader Kapil Sibal of receiving huge funds from PFI to defend their cases in the Supreme Court.

He also accused the organisations as the ones responsible for the death of 23 Hindu activists in Karnataka. Such incidents have proven that both SDPI and PFI are dubious organisations, he said.

Comments

PFI is the first kind of organization which is doing community work in all the walks of life.

and providing the helping hands to all the Indian community doing marvelous job.

this is the first organization fighting against corrupt and injustice following the principle of our father of nation mahatma Gandhi’s.

the corrupt and injustice people in the society not ready to accept their policy and trying to stop the voices of justice to the society.

I wish PFI and its sub organizations will continue to support to the society and keep the good work so that people are with you.

Wah what a joke.

RSS is blamming others as terrorists.

Constitutionof RSS is a terrorism. Stupid Hegevar and Savarkar are the heroes of illiterate stupid community.

The whole intelligent community including European Uniion and US openly declared.

This is the sure end and downfall of RSS, which will never come-up again. You woke-up of peace lovers.

Thank you.

You people are never fit to run even a small village and how come thinking of ruling a big country.

RSS is the most active and first ever terrorist organisation in India and it should be banned first. There is no proof of terrorist activities by SDPI and PFI. BJP is afraid of these organisations as they give tought resistance to BJP and this is the reason why its planning to ban these organisations. BJP is doing propoganda only. Real thread for peace + harmoney in India by sanghis. We should ban them first.
