PFI demands action against RSS

‘Home Department has failed to act against calls for instigating riots’

The Popular Front of India (PFI) has accused the police and the Home Department of remaining mute spectators in the face of rabble-rousing by RSS and BJP leaders and their alleged open calls for instigating riots.

Addressing the media here on Saturday, PFI office-bearers urged the Home Department to wake up from inertia, as peace and tranquillity in the State was being threatened. PFI State president C.P. Muhammed, State secretary C.A. Rauf, and Ernakulam district president V.K. Salim were present.

They alleged that a march organised by the RSS in remembrance of the slain K.T. Jayakrishnan was rife with slogans brimming with communal hatred and hostility. Though it was against the CPI(M), it effectively was reduced to an open call for riots targeting the Muslim community, thus exposing the real designs of the RSS and the BJP.
