Palakkad: There is no information on any probe by the military intelligence into the activities of the Popular Front of India, said Mullappally Ramachandran, central minister of state for Home Affairs. He was responding to the query of media persons regarding the news about the probe which had come in certain media last day.
The minister said that he had no information on whether Manoj Abraham, Kochi City Police Commissioner, had sent any letter to the military intelligence seeking a probe into the activities of the PFI. It was not the policy of the central government to suppress organizations using the police and the intelligence department. The central government is ready for talks with any group, be it terrorists or extremists, he added.
The minister repeated his denial of the accusation that PDP chairman Abdunnasir Ma’dani was trapped in the Bengaluru blast case by the intelligence bureau. Ma’dani had accused that the case against him was framed up and that certain persons in the intelligence bureau were behind it.
In another development, a petition was filed in the High Court asking a ban on the PFI and SPDI. The petition was reportedly filed by G Gireesh Babu, resident of Kalamassery near Kochi. The petition asks to investigate the mode of functioning, financial source and propagation of ideology of the PFI and the SDPI. It also asks to prevent the publication of books, leaflets, magazines etc of the two organizations and their publication wings. The two organisations are involved in anti-national activities. The police have found their involvement in the case related to the attack on the Professor Joseph.
The news about the military intelligence probe about the activities of the PFI had come in a Malayalam newspaper last day. The media took up the issue and the news spread.
