Kochi, August 23: Popular Front of India chairman E M Abdul Rahiman has categorically denied the reports that linked his organisation to the recent rumours against Assamese people, and termed it as yet another round of malicious propaganda by the vested interest groups and communal sections against PFI.

Addressing a media conference here on Thursday, Mr Rahiman stated that PFI stood for the right of all citizens to study or work anywhere in India.

It was reported that a few arrests have been made in Karnataka for allegedly sending fake messages and a lot of websites has been blocked by authorities.

Mr Rahiman demanded to publish the details of all arrested persons and blocked websites. None related to PFI are in custody anywhere in this regard and PFI website is live till this hour, he said.

He pointed out that there are reasons to assume that in the current incidents across the country, there may be a hidden agenda of communal outfits to divert attention from the real issue that is the humanitarian crisis in Assam. Now the government responsibility in the safe home return and rehabilitation of about three lakh victims is sidelined and pulled out of focus.

He alleged that the vested interest groups and communal political leaders were attempting to shift the agenda to the issue of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. He demanded the central and state government of Assam to fulfill the constitutional responsibilities of rehabilitating the victims irrespective of their religion and language. He also demanded the union home ministry to ensure that anybody in the intelligence and security agencies are not involved in spreading defamatory, malicious and communally motivated statements.

PFI Kerala state president Karamana Ashraf Moulavi also present in the press conference.

Bengaluru, Jun 23: Karnataka Congress leader and Kanakapura MLA DK Shivakumar said on Monday that in the wake of coronavirus pandemic, people of his assembly constituency have taken a unanimous decision of remaining under voluntary lockdown until July 1.

The decision was taken after he headed a meeting at Kanakapura on Sunday, at the office of Kanakapura Municipality.

"Let us consider the situation after July 1, hold a similar meeting, and take the next decision. It has nothing to do with the state government's mandate. It came to the conclusion that this was a decision that we all voluntarily took," said DK Shivakumar.

DK Shivakumar informed that the merchants have agreed to sell groceries, fruits, vegetables, fennel, meat and other food items from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. only. District authorities, DCs, SPs and hospital representatives have decided the timings of clinics and drug stores.

He further said, "In this self-motivated lockdown, unnecessary driving should be avoided. The social gap must be maintained. No one should be oppressed by anyone."

Member of Parliament DK Suresh, Ravi - Ramanagara District Collector Archana, SP Anoop Shetty, and Kanakapura Planning Authority Chairman Jagannath were also present in the meeting.
