Connection to violence in Delhi
ED teams conducted raids at Lucknow and Barabanki in Uttar Pradesh. The action was taken after the PFI connection to the Delhi riots was exposed, the ED office said. Nadeem, who was arrested from Lucknow in the case, is a resident of Barabanki. Those associated with him are being sought. The action was taken after interrogation of PFI members arrested from Mathura in the Hathras incident. The arrested member is in PFI’s Delhi unit in Mathura. One of the four accused arrested in Mathura is an officer of the Delhi unit. He was in touch with members from Kerala and other states.
5 hours action in Jaipur
In Jaipur, the ED team interrogated the PFI office for about 5 hours. After the squad left, PFI members shouted slogans. The state office of PFI is behind the Muslim school on Moti Dungri Road in Jaipur. ED’s team reached there around 11 in the morning. The team returned at 3:30 p.m. Some documents have also been seized from here.
Attempts to draw attention from the peasant movement
The ED’s raid on the houses of the union office bearers is an attempt to draw attention to the plight of the farmers. The BJP government is trying to hide its failures. Such action cannot stop them from raising their voices for justice, said Mohammad Shakeef, general secretary of the Popular Front of India in Lucknow.
