Lucknow, Dec 28: The Uttar Pradesh government is planning to ban Popular Front of India (PFI) here as allegations were made that the organisation had instigated violence in the name of protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019, government sources said.

The state police had earlier arrested three members of PFI in connection with the violent protests in Lucknow on December 19 against the CAA and National Register of Citizens (NRC).

Among those arrested were PFI state president Waseem Ahmad, Nadeem and Ashfaq.

The Act grants citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis, Buddhists and Christians from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.

Banning PFI is illogic and unconstitutional.   The organisation whch should be banned is RSS which is involved in alsmost all the arson + looting incidents in UP.   UP Police are seen supporting these RSS goondas in looting.   Many RSS goondas in the dress of UP Police took part in looting and putting fire to public + govt property .  But UP Govt is very kind to them and appreciating their goondaism and targetting innocents.   BJP govt is trying to crush the movement of peaceful people by force.

Jun 26: The Supreme Court on Friday permitted the Centre and the CBSE to cancel the remaining board examinations due to the COVID-19 pandemic and gave the go-ahead for the scheme to award marks to students for the cancelled papers scheduled to be held in July.

A bench of Justices A M Khanwilkar, Dinesh Maheshwari and Sanjiv Khanna permitted the CBSE to issue a notification for the cancellation of the examinations.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre and the CBSE, said that the assessment scheme would consider marks scored by students in the last three papers of the board exams.

Both CBSE and ICSE told the top court that the results of the class X and XII board exams can be declared by the middle of July.

The top court was hearing pleas seeking relief, including scrapping of remaining exams of Class 12 scheduled from July 1 to 15, in view of increasing number of COVID-19 cases. Similar relief was sought by the ICSE Board also.
