Popular Front to Observe Its Foundation Day on theme ‘Defeat Politics of Hatred’
Bengaluru: Popular Front of India has planned to observe its foundation day on the theme 'Defeat Politics of Hatred'.
In a statement, it said, "BJP led NDA, which grabbed majority in the 2014 lok-sabha polls with the slogan ‘Sab ka Sath, Sab ka Vikas’, has knocked down country’s integrity, solidarity, brotherhood and coexistence and has been working on the Hindutva agenda of Sangh Parivar during the last 4.5 years,"
"The responsibility of every government is to look after the fundamental rights of the people and this is its Constitutional motif and Rajdharma. But, the present regime at the Centre is indulged in carrying out repression on the minorities, deprived and the oppressed communities by promoting the Sangh Parivar’s politics of hatred," it added.
It blamed that the central government, rather than benefitting and bringing development in the country by introducing pro-people schemes, was desperate in bringing legislations intervening in to the religious rights of Muslims. "There have been barbaric ‘mob-lynchings’, from Mohammed Akhlaq to Bulandshaher’s police officer, all by the dreadful Hindutva forces. There have been exceeding tendencies of dictatorial practices across the country towards killing those who contract the pernicious ideology of Sangh Parivar and mulling ban on organizations which remonstrate against them. It’s the duty of every citizen to defeat this politics of hatred. Popular Front yearns that the people should come forward and defeat the political parties which spread hatred and uphold the pluralistic values of the Constitution," it added.
Subsequently, the Popular Front of India, which has been struggling countrywide for the last 12 years, is observing the organization’s 13th foundation day with the slogan “Let’s Defeat Politics of Hatred” on 17 February 2019.
Unity March with Grand Public programs in two places in Karnataka state, that is at Hoskote in Bangalore and Shahapura in Yadgiri district, will be held. Whereas in rural areas, "Let's defeat politics of hatred" awakening programs will be organised.

21 hours raid fetch nothing for ED, claims Karnataka Cong MLA’s son
Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka Congress MLA N A Haris' son Mohammed Haris Nalapad on Tuesday claimed that the 21 hours of search by the ED in his house and other locations did not fetch anything.
The Enforcement Directorate on Monday raided the premises of the two sons of Haris (Mohammed Haris Nalapad and Omar Farook Nalapad), Aqeeb Khan, grandson of ex-Union cabinet minister K Rahman Khan and an alleged crypto hacker named Srikrishna Ramesh alias Sriki in a crypto currency-linked money laundering case.
More than a dozen premises in the city have been covered as part of the action executed under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
"My grandfather is 89-year-old. There is not a single bad mark. My father (N A Haris) is a four-time MLA. There is not a single accusation against him. Their only intention was to target myself and my brother. As simple as that," Mohammed Nalapad, who is a former Karnataka Youth Congress president, told reporters.
According to him, the ED officials carried out raids for 21 hours.
"After 21 hours of search, they took away only two mobile phones from our house. They did not get a single paisa. The ED will testify it," the Congress leader said.
Exuding faith in the law, he said he is ready to fight the case in court.
"Me and my father have opted for politics and we are in public life. You can call me whatever you want but I have not done anything wrong," Mohammed Nalapad said.
Regarding his relationship with Sriki, he said he knew him but had no clue what he was doing.
"I have never said that either me or my brother do not know Sriki. But how will I know what he does in his house? Can his crimes be linked to us," he asked.
The money laundering case stems from some Karnataka Police FIRs and chargesheets filed in a 2017 case of hacking of national and international websites, stealing of bitcoins and sale of these 'stolen' virtual digital assets (VDA) through crypto platforms by the alleged hacker Sriki and his associates.
The Nalapad brothers and Aqeeb Khan are alleged to be the beneficiaries of the proceeds of crime generated through this alleged crypto-linked crime, the ED said.
