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.

Mangaluru, Mar 21: Taking strict measures to contain the spreading of COVID-19, Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh, who is also District Magistrate, ordered sealing of road connectivity leading to Kerala State for all kinds of traffic from March 21 to midnight of March 31.

No vehicles will be allowed to operate between Dakshina Kannada and Kasaragod district in Kerala, the Deputy Commissioner said in a late-night order on Friday.

Ms. Rupesh said that in case of any emergency, vehicles will be allowed only through the Talapady check post on the National Highway 66, which is about 17 km away from Mangaluru city.

The Deputy Commissioner’s order came after the Kasaragod district reported six COVID-19 positive cases on Friday.

The order said that many vehicles operated between Kasaragod in Kerala and Mangaluru and hence, there is a need to take precautionary measures.

Private buses to not ply

Private bus operators in Dakshina Kannada will not operate their buses on March 22 to support the ‘Janata Curfew’ called by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Dilraj Alva, president, Dakshina Kananda Bus Operators’ Association, said in a release on Friday that people should remain in their homes on Sunday to help contain the community spreading of COVID-19. The decision has been taken in the interest of the public, he said.

Bengaluru, May 21: Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa today slammed Law Minister JC Madhuswamy for yelling at a woman farmer in Kolar, an incident that attracted widespread criticism. 

The incident happened on Wednesday when Madhuswamy, who is also the minor irrigation minister, was inspecting the Koramangala-Challaghatta (KC) Valley project, under which Bengaluru’s sewage is treated and pumped into lakes in Kolar. 

During his visit, farmer Nalini Gowda questioned Madhuswamy on the encroachment of the 1,022-acre S Agrahara lake. At one point, Madhuswamy lost his cool and yelled, “Aye! Shut your mouth, rascal,” and asked the police to take her away. Before this, Madhuswamy told her, “Make a request. I’m a very bad man. You can only air your grievance. Don’t command us.” 

A video of this exchange was aired by news channels. 

“What (Madhuswamy) said is not right. I have warned him. None can forgive such an explicit manner of talking with a woman. That, too, behaving like that being a minister doesn’t bode well. I will talk to that woman also and I’ll ensure this doesn’t happen again,” Yediyurappa told reporters.

The incident has come as a shot in the arm to the Opposition Congress, which is already attacking the Yediyurappa administration on the COVID-19 crisis. Condemning Madhuswamy’s behaviour, Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah demanded an apology and asked Yediyurappa to sack him from the Cabinet. 

Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president D K Shivakumar said it was unbecoming of Madhuswamy to behave like that being a senior minister. “People will ask us questions and express their problems, naturally. What’s important is how we handle ourselves. Be it a woman or anyone, they come to us because we’re into public service. Calling them ‘rascal’ and things is not right. Maybe there was some irritation, but I agree with (Siddaramaiah) that he should be dropped from the Cabinet,” he said.

On his part, Madhuswamy said he felt intimidated. “If I have hurt the feelings of any woman, I will certainly apologise,” he said. “But citizens should realise, we go to their villages to ask about their problems. If they start abusing us publicly, how can we work? My secretary and I heard her for five minutes and then told her that we know our responsibility. We asked her to close the issue. She didn’t stop and I got tempted (sic),” the minister said.

To everyone's surprise, six of their tests have come out positive though they have not shown any symptoms of SARS-CoV-2.
