Pratap Simha seeks ban on PFI, KFD
The Hindu
He says they should have been proscribed soon after the violence in Bengaluru
Calling for a ban on Popular Front of India (PFI) and the Karnataka Forum for Dignity (KFD), Mysuru MP Pratap Simha on Sunday accused the two outfits of fomenting trouble in the State.
He alleged that the two groups were also involved in the K.G. Halli and D.J. Halli riots in Bengaluru and the Government should ban the organisations to curb their activities. He said they should have been banned soon after the Bengaluru violence and accused them of provoking and instigating the student community in Karnataka to foment trouble on the hijab issue.
Mr. Simha said the two organisations with their origins in Kerala had entered the coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi and had spread their influence to create disturbance across the State and should be banned.
About 7 km before reaching Mysuru’s Outer Ring Road junction on the Bengaluru-Mysuru highway, a structure resembling the silhouette of a giant tyre attracts the attention of passing-by motorists. This landmark spread across 10 acres of land in Naguvinahalli in Srirangapatna taluk, features a vintage car museum that has become the latest attraction for visitors to Mysuru.
