Bengaluru: Senior Counsel Subhash Jha on Friday said organisations like Popular Front of India(PFI), Campus Front of India (CFI), Students Islamic Organisation of India (SIO), and Jamat e Islam (JIH) are funded by Saudi universities to Islamize India.

During the hearing of the Hijab row on Friday, Jha also linked the recent murder of Hindutva activist Harsha in Shivamogga to agitations related to the Hijab row.

Jha was seeking CBI/NIA probe into the agitations in Hijab row. The Chief Justice of Karnataka HC asked Jha if he has any material showing extraneous elements so that the court can consider his petition.

“PFI, Campus Front, SIO, Jamaat E Islami which has been funded by Saudi universities to Islamize India. If there is material showing involvement of these organisations, the answer is not difficult to fathom.” Jha replied.

He further added “An agitation of this magnitude cannot be orchestrated overnight. This cannot be turn out of blue. There are photographs showing the girls were not wearing hijab earlier. Suddenly petitions are filed one after another, senior lawyers across the country are engaged.”

He then linked the Harsha Murder to the agitations and added “One young boy Harsha was killed and I am informed CFI is involved in the brutal murder.”

The CJ then replied “Investigation is pending. We cannot presume. We cannot go on presumptions. Have you tried to collect material that there are people behind the agitation? You have any material.”

“Attendant circumstances indicate that there is more to it than meets the eye. Prima facie credible information is only necessary to set criminal law into motion. Court may call for a report from Union of India.” Jha told the court.

The CJ told Jha that they will consider it and had already called for a report from the government.

Chennai (PTI): Hundreds of TVK supporters, fuelled by the hope of seeing their leader Vijay as chief minister, gathered at Nehru Indoor Stadium in the city on Thursday, only to be met with locked gates and a lack of information regarding the scheduled proceedings.

Many supporters, travelling from various parts of the state, near and far, like Arumbakkam and Coimbatore, expressed deep disappointment and confusion upon finding the premises closed and without official communication.

Speaking to PTI Videos, fans and party loyalists described a sense of heartbreak after arriving early to secure a place in line.

Charulatha, a supporter, noted the emotional toll of the situation: "We came with so much joy thinking he would become the chief minister today, but there is nothing here. The gates are closed. It is very painful."

Sai Deepika, her daughter and a student set to enter the 12th grade, shared her excitement for the event: "I was very excited to be here. I have been telling everyone he will win and do good things for the people."

A visibly distressed Gunasundari, a long-time political observer from a family of AIADMK supporters, stated she shifted her loyalty to Vijay: "I publicly say I voted for Vijay. I have a belief that he will help those in need. Seeing the gates closed like this is a shock."

Despite the confusion on the ground, the gathered crowd remained steadfast in their political choice. Several supporters highlighted Vijay’s decision to fund party activities independently as a key reason for their trust.

"He didn't take a single rupee from the people for his flag or the stage. He did it all himself," said an emotional Gunasundari. "Even if they try to shame him or create obstacles, he is the one who will eventually win."

Many attendees cited news reports and social media claims as their reason for arriving early on Thursday morning. Some supporters mentioned they had travelled via public transport and waited for hours under the impression that an official declaration or event was imminent.

"My son told me that declarations were made yesterday and everyone was coming today," Gunasundari added. "I didn't even tell him I was leaving; I just started my journey to see him in person for the first time".
