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.

Alappuzha, Jan 9: The houseboat of Nobel Laureate Michael Levitt was blocked in the backwaters here for some time by trade union activists, who were on a nationwide strike against the Centre's "anti-labour" policies on Wednesday.

Michael Levitt, an American-British-Israeli biophysicist and a professor of structural biology at the Stanford University in the United States, said the incident sent a bad message to tourists.

Levitt, who was in Kerala as a state guest, also said he felt as if a bandit had stopped his wife and him at gunpoint. Police said Levitt, who received the 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, was in Alappuzha with his wife and they were stopped by the protesters near Kainakary.

"Being stopped by criminals on the backwaters sends a very bad message to tourists. It is as if a bandit stopped us at gunpoint and delayed us under the threat of force for one hour," Levitt wrote in an email to his tour agent at Kottayam.

In the email, which was later released to the media, he also said the person who blocked them "ignored all arguments that tourists were exempted" from the strike.

"This person, who did this, ignored all arguments that tourists were exempted and that I am a VIP guest of the Kerala government. He was obviously acting, knowing that he was safe from prosecution. Sadly, this makes me fear that India is sinking into lawlessness," Levitt wrote in the email.

The police registered a case after the houseboat owners filed a complaint in this regard.

Reacting to the incident, state Tourism Minister Kadakampally Surendran said the government would take strong action. "Strong action will be taken against those anti-social elements who stopped the boat. Levitt was here as a guest of the state government. The government had made it clear that the tourism industry was exempted from the strike," he said.

Trade union leaders had also announced that the strike would not affect the tourism industry.

Ten trade unions, including the INTUC, the AITUC and the CITU, had called for the nationwide strike to protest against the labour reforms, FDI, disinvestment, corporatisation and privatisation policies of the Centre and press for a 12-point demands of the working class, relating to minimum wage, among others.
