Bengaluru: Popular Front of India (PFI) in Saturday issued a press release, welcoming the Supreme Court monitored mediation process on Ayodhya dispute case. The organisation has also expressed reservation on the inclusion of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in the three member panel appointed by the Supreme Court.
The press release terms the spiritual leader Ravi Shankar as ‘Controversial Figure’ and ‘Open campaigner of for construction of Ram Mandir on the disputed site’ while it also suggest that it would have been more meaningful had the CJI himself would head the panel instead of Retd. Judge of Apex Court.
“He (Ravi Shankar) was repeatedly demanding Muslims to give up their claim of Babri Masjid and accept the Masjid outside Ayodhya. He is reported to have once threatened Muslims that if they don’t give up their claim on Ayodhya India will become Syria. On another occasion he told the media that if court rules against temple, there would be bloodshed and the government might not be able to implement the court order” the press release added.
“It is heartbreaking to note that a controversial person with such a background of openly instigating violence is being deputed to play the role of mediator” it further added
The organization further suggested the apex court to amend its order and ask the panel to begin mediation process only after the Lok Sabha Elections this year as it expressed apprehensions about urgency being sought in the matter to coincide with Lok Sabha elections, as the issue can be used for political gains.

DMK seeks separate seating in Lok Sabha after split with Congress alliance
New Delhi: Kanimozhi Karunanidhi has written to the Lok Sabha Speaker seeking a separate seating arrangement for Members of Parliament belonging to the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) following the end of the party’s alliance with the Indian National Congress.
In a letter dated May 7 addressed to the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, Kanimozhi said the changed political situation made it inappropriate for DMK MPs to continue sitting alongside Congress members in the House.
She requested the Speaker to make “suitable changes” in the seating arrangement of the DMK Parliamentary Party and allot separate seating for its MPs.
“In view of the changed political circumstances and as our alliance with the Indian National Congress has come to an end, it may not be appropriate for our Members to continue occupying the present seating arrangement alongside them in the House,” the letter stated.
Kanimozhi further said separate seating would help DMK members effectively discharge their responsibilities in the Lok Sabha.
