PFI denies involvement

Special Correspondent

Bangalore: The Popular Front of India (PFI), the organisation with which KFD merged in 2006, has categorically denied any connection with the killings of the students. “PFI has no connection with any such incident. We wish to make it clear that the source of finances for the PFI is monthly contributions from its members and donations from the public,” said Elyas Muhammad, State president of the PFI.

Asked if the arrested youth were members of the organisation, he told The Hindu: “We have thousands of people who come to our programmes as participants. We are now making enquiries in Mysore to find out if they were members at all. However, to link them and their criminal act to the organisation is part of the Government's ploy to divert attention from numerous charges of scandals it is facing today.”

He said the PFI “strongly condemns” all criminal activities and urged the Police Department to take stringent action against criminals irrespective of the community to which they belong.
