PFI pledges to uphold constitutional values, universal brotherhood

Mangalore, October 11: Thousands of enthusiastic Popular Front of India cadres including women and children poured into Nehru Maidan on Tuesday to witness the launch of nationwide publicity campaign for their two-day Social Justice Conference that will be held on November 26 and 27 at Ramlila Maidan in New Delhi under the central theme of “Build the Nation on Justice”.

Delivering the inaugural address at the pre-conference meet, K M Shareef, National General Secretary of PFI said that the main objective of their impending conference was to spread the message of universal brotherhood as well as to strengthen the values mentioned in the Indian constitution. “It is disheartening that today social justice is meant only for 'haves'. In the name of globalisation the government is pushing the people towards slavery”, he said.

He cited findings of the Sachar Committee report to say how large chunks of the minority community had been alienated from the mainstream.

“41 crore of people are suffering from hunger, 42 million children have no access to schools and 20 million children are child labourers in the county. Then, where is the social justice?”, he questioned and added that after independence successive governments were only planning and unveiling attractive schemes for the betterment of the minority and other downtrodden communities, but never implemented a single scheme effectively.

Heavily coming down on Sangh Parivar, Mr Shareef said the major hurdle for the social justice in this country is the existence communal and fascist outfits like RSS.

Dr C S Dwarakanath, former chairman, State Commission for Backward Classes, said PFI has the social responsibility.

Terming the RSS as an anti-Hindu and anti-human organisation, Dr Dwarakanath said one cannot equate PFI to organisations like RSS. RSS is an organisation of Gandhi killer. It doesn't protect Hindus but only Brahminism, he added.

Venkata Swamy, President of Samatha Sainika Dal, underlined the need for creating a broad-based alliance of all oppressed sections, including the minorities, Dalits and backward classes, to ensure social justice.

“Today's programme is a historical which coincided with Advani's Rath Yathra, which has the intention of dividing the nation, whereas PFI holds the conference to build the nation, this is the difference,” he said.


“Advani began his yathra on Valmiki Jayanthi, birthday commemoration of a saint from lower community and they destroyed Babri Masjid on death anniversary of B R Ambedkar. This is their conspiracy,” he said.

He also suggested that 'Ramlila grounds' at New Delhi should be called as “Bheem Leela grounds” as November 26, when the PFI holds national conference, is the date when Constituent Assembly enacted the Indian Constitution in 1949, drafted by Dr B R Ambedkar.

'Not Minorities'

Resenting the usage of word 'minority' to refer Muslims, V T Rajashekhar, Editor of 'Dalit Voice', questioned how could Muslims, who form big half of the population be minority community. “It is Brahminical conspiracy who are only 2% and call themselves as majority.” he said.

In his presidential address Ilyas Muhammad Thumbay, President of Karnataka branch of PFI said that innocent Muslim youths are arbitrarily arrested, falsely implicated and mercilessly tortured in various blasts which were engineered by Sangh Parivar outfits.

Lamenting over 'no permission' to PFI from the government to hold freedom parade citing flimsy reason of law and order problem, he said the same government had granted permission for those who hold torch procession in the preceding night of Independence Day. “You may prevent us from holding public meetings, but you cannot suppress our thoughts,” he said.

Advocate Rafeek Kuttikatoor, Vice Principal of Green Valley Institute Kerala, Pattabhirama Somayaji, Lecturer at Mangalore University College, Majeed Kodlipete, State President of Social Democratic Party of India, Rafiuddin Kudroli of NAIF also spoke.

Mangaluru: A tragic incident unfolded on Sunday, November 17, at Vazco Resort (VAZCO), situated at Battappadi Cross Road in Someshwara on the outskirts of the city, when three young women drowned in the resort’s swimming pool. 

Disturbingly, an iPhone recording and CCTV footage captured their final moments, providing insights into the heartbreaking accident.

According to City Police Commissioner Anupam Agrawal, the tragedy occurred at approximately 10:05 AM. The victims were identified as:

Keerthana N (21) from Devaraj Mohalla, Hebbal Second Stage, Vijayanagar Post.
Nishitha M.D (21) from 4th Cross, Kuribarahalli, Mysuru.
Parvathi S (20) from Ramanuja Road, K.R. Mohalla, Mysuru.

Sequence of Events

The three women had checked into Room No. 2 of the resort on the morning of November 16 and stayed overnight. On Sunday morning, around 10 AM, they entered the swimming pool to play. Reports suggest that they placed their clothes poolside and set an iPhone to record the activity.

Initial findings indicate one woman slipped underwater and began to struggle. When the second attempted a rescue, she too drowned, followed by the third woman. Within minutes, the tragedy claimed all three lives. CCTV footage from the resort corroborates the sequence, showing the young women struggling before succumbing to the water.

Investigation Underway

The resort staff discovered the lifeless bodies and immediately raised the alarm. Ullal Police Inspector H N Balakrishna and his team are conducting an investigation. Preliminary reports suggest the women were non-swimmers, and the lack of safety measures contributed to the tragedy.

The resort is owned by Manohar, as per police records. While the formal case is yet to be registered, the incident has raised serious questions about safety protocols at resorts offering pool facilities.

Former minister and ex-MLC C M Ibrahim claimed that he still heads the original JD(S) and asked former prime minister and party supremo H D Deve Gowda to cut ties with the BJP, so that the party can be strengthened again. He also said options are being explored to either strengthen the JD(S) or to float a new regional party.

He was speaking to media persons, in Mysuru, on Monday, after meeting JD(S) MLA and former minister G T Deve Gowda, who has expressed his displeasure that he has been sidelined in the party and the party leaders have indicated his retirement from politics.

He stated, “If Deve Gowda had joined the Congress, during the last Assembly election, he would have been a minister now. We retained him in the JD(S), to strengthen the party. Now, efforts are being made to strangulate Deve Gowda’s political career. I have discussed all matters with Deve Gowda. In two days, I will start a Karnataka state tour and meet some leaders. After that, I will meet Deve Gowda again, and then decide on the further course of action.”

Ibrahim said, “The original JD(S) is ours. I am still its state president. All documents and accounts are in our name. Even now, if Deve Gowda leaves BJP’s company and returns, we will build the JD(S) again”.

“Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy should mend his ways and stop making JD(S) into a family-owned company. The JD(S)’s situation has become hopeless. Its love for the BJP is over. He should understand this,” he said.

“When I was with Kumaraswamy, he spent just Rs 4 crore in Channapatna and won by 20,000 votes. Now, without me, he spent Rs 150 crore and still lost by 25,000 votes. Without Muslims’ support, the JD(S) cannot win a single seat. Now, it is proved that 19 MLAs of the JD(S) won in 2023, because of Muslims,” he added.

Speaking on other options available, Ibrahim said, “We have not yet decided to go with the Congress. We are only considering to establish a third front. Whether it is founding a new regional party, forming a third front, or strengthening the JD(S), will be decided shortly.”

Earlier during the day, before meeting Deve Gowda, Ibrahim had said, that 12 to 13 JD(S) MLAs were dissatisfied with the party, but like Deve Gowda, were enduring pain.

“Now, I have started the task of uniting them. I as the JD(S) state president, it is my responsibility to address our MLAs’ grievances. At present, the JD(S) is on fire and all JD(S) MLAs want to protect their respective constituency. Hence, they have started speaking one by one,” he said.
