NEW DELHI – The Popular Front of India condemned the Telangana Police’s attempts to tarnish its image by arresting its members by implicating them in fake cases.
The Nizamabad Police have arrested members of the PFI and charged them under the draconian law, UAPA. The organisation, in a press release, called the allegations made against them as false, and said the case against them is totally fabricated by the police.
More members of the Popular Front are now purposely being added to the case with an ulterior motive to target the organisation in the entire state. The intention behind the case is clearly to stall the activities and growth of the Popular Front in the region, it said.
The release clarified that Abdul Khader, who was arrested first in Nizamabad, has been a martial art trainer for the last 30 years. He is known as a trainer who conducts martial arts classes as part of his profession. Secondly, there was no meeting of PFI on July 4 at the place as alleged by the police, which proves that the Nizamabad police narrative is full of concoctions.
It said, “There are also attempts to link the Popular Front with the Amravati murder, which is also part of the ongoing campaign against the organisation. As soon as the BJP came to power in Maharashtra, the NIA was brought into the investigation of the case with an instruction to establish the PFI link.”
The approach of the NIA towards this case further establishes the fact that it is a political decision to target the Popular Front. We strongly condemn this vendetta politics and the misuse of central agencies,” the PFI said.
