PFI On NIA Raids
“PFI National Executive Council has condemned the national wide raids by the NIA and ED and the unjust arrests and the harassments of its national and state leaders across India and the witch-hunting against the members and supporters of the organization.
NIA baseless claims and sensationalism are solely aimed at creating an atmosphere of terror . Popular front will never ever surrender on any scary action by a totalitarian regime using the central agencies as its puppets and will stand firm on its will for recovering the democratic system and spirit of the constitution of our beloved country .
