PFI falsely being linked with terror outfits'

October 30, 2012

Mangalore, October 30: As part of a month-long nationwide campaign “Why Popular Front” against 'falsehood being propagated about the organization, Popular Front of India' will organise a massive public convention on November 2 at Nehru Maidan, Mangalore.

Announcing this at a press conference, here on Tuesday, PFI Karnataka State committee member Abdul Razak Kemmara said that a widespread conspiracy was being hatched to defame the organisation by external forces.

“PFI is falsely being linked with terror organisations such as HuJI. Misleading reports have also appeared in newspapers terming the accused youths arrested in Hubli as PFI members. Deliberate attempts are being made to portray the organisation in a bad light, while the agenda of PFI has always been to uphold constitutional rights. Hence, a nation-wide campaign was launched from October 10 to dispel such negative thoughts and baseless allegations made on the organisation,” he said.

Since its inception, the organisation has been stood for the cause of human rights and educational rights to all classes especially the Muslims. The month-long campaign 'Why Popular Front' aims at spreading awareness to the masses on the actual objectives of PFI. So far, programmes have been held in various parts of the country such as Chennai, Calicut, Delhi and Maharashtra to support this cause, he said.

In the convention to be held in Mangalore, PFI National general secretary K M Sharief and Karnataka State president Ilyas Mohammed Thumbe will deliver the key address. Khadim of Ajmer Dargah Syed Sarwar Chisty, Bahujan Samajwadi Party Karnataka State president Marasandra Muniyappa and national president of All India Imams Council Usman Baig will be the special invitees on the occasion, he said.

Around 10,000 members belonging to the organisation from Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts are expected to participate in the convention, he said.

PFI State committee member Ataullah A M, Dakshina Kannada district president Nazeer M H, DK district general secretary Abdul Majid B M and Bantwal taluk president Shahul Hameed were present at the press conference.

Pakistani roommate striving for release of Udupi man arrested in Saudi over offensive Facebook post

February 3,2020

Dammam, Feb 3: Harish Bangera, 32, who was arrested in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia more than a month ago after offensive Facebook post went viral, has remained incommunicado.

Bangera, who hails from Goyadibettu in Bijadi village of Kundapur taluk, Udupi district, was an air-conditioning technician for a company in Dammam, capital of Saudi's eastern province.

He was arrested on December 20, 2019 after he posted derogatory messages on Facebook against crown prince Mohammad bin Salman and went on to claim that a Ram temple will be built in the holy city of Makkah too just like in Ayodhya where the Babri mosque was demolished.

Fearing legal action, he later posted a video pleading for forgiveness. “I have committed a mistake. Please forgive me. I will never upload any such posts again," he is seen saying in the video.

After his arrest, his roommate, who happens to be a Pakistani, has reportedly made several attempt to contact him, but in vain. He also has approached many Indian and Saudi authorities in his bid to get Bangera out of prison, sources said.

The Saudi authorities have not even responded to the messages of Indian Ministry of External Affairs. "We've made many efforts to contact the Saudi authorities but they haven't responded,” MEA sources said.

February 12,2020

Mangaluru, Feb 12: More than 7,000 people at Mangalore International Airport (MIA) and over 1,000 at the New Mangalore Port (NMP) have undergone thermal screening for the novel coronavirus in the past few days, a taluk health official said on Wednesday.

A few more ships are scheduled to arrive at the port and all precautionary measures to check the ship’s passengers and crew are ready, he said.

Soon after a positive case of deadly pathogen surfaced in Kerala, the district health officials here actively started monitoring all entry points in the bordering district.

Apart from Mangaluru, there is bus connectivity to Puttur, Sullia, Bantwal, Dharmasthala and Subrahmanya from Kerala. More than eight to 10 trains arrive at Mangaluru daily from Kerala.

Hence, it is impossible to take up screening of all the vehicles arriving from Kerala, sources in District Health and Family Welfare said.
