Patna, July 17: Popular Front of India, a political outfit mostly known in South India, has categorically rejected as a “false propaganda” the news that some anti-national slogans were raised in its pro-Zakir Naik rally in Patna last week.
In a press statement on Saturday, Popular Front’s general secretary M Mohammed Ali Jinnah strongly deplored the news published and telecast in a section of media that, ‘Pakistan zindabad’ slogans were raised in a protest rally conducted by the organization in Patna, the capital city of Bihar.
“This rally was one of the protest programs held by the organization in different parts of country against targeting Dr. Zakir Naik and Mr.Asaduddin Owaisi which were part of communal fascist agenda to silence them. We presume that some vicious elements have fabricated the original video of the event and misused a section of the media to tarnish the image of the Muslim community and Popular Front of India,” said Jinnah.
He warned to take legal action against a section of the media.
“We hereby assert that, the alleged anti-national slogans were not raised in our Patna rally. No such allegation has been raised against us in any of the similar rallies held across the country on the same issue. We will resort to legal actions against those media which have circulated the above news,” said Jinnah and appealed to the state administration and police “not to succumb to pressures from anti-minority forces.”
