Sambhal (UP), Sep 22: Samajwadi Party MP Shafiqur Rahman Barq on Thursday questioned multi-agency raids against the Popular Front of India in the country, asking what is their crime and why people associated with it are being arrested.
A multi-agency operation spearheaded by the National Investigation Agency on Thursday led to the arrest of 106 activists of the Popular Front of India in 11 states for allegedly supporting terror activities in the country.
"Like all other institutions of the country, the PFI is also an institution. This organisation is fighting the problems faced by Muslims of the country. Why are their people being arrested," Barq asked interacting with reporters.
"What is their crime," he added.
Barq also supported the Congress' "Bharat Jodo Yatra" and said it is being carried out to unite the country.
"It is a good initiative to stop the destruction of the country. All opposition parties should support it. This will benefit the opposition. If everyone fights together, the BJP government will go away," he said.

ABVP leaders face legal action for protesting without permission in Udupi
Udupi: A legal case has been filed against ABVP members for staging a protest without permission on April 23rd. The protest was organised to condemn the tragic murder of Neha Hiremath, a student from Hubbali.
Despite being denied permission due to the Election Code of Conduct being in effect, around 300 ABVP members gathered unlawfully at Jodukatte in the city. From there, they proceeded towards Udupi Service Bus Stand, causing a disruption to public traffic.
The ABVP members further aggravated the situation by blocking Clock Tower Road near the Udupi Service Bus Stand, which is a restricted area for protests. This resulted in inconvenience for the public and disrupted vehicular movement.
Following a complaint lodged by Flying Squad Officer Kumar Naik, a case has been formally registered at the Udupi Town Police Station.
