Imphal, October 11 2020:
Popular front of India (PFI), Manipur State conducted protest across the State in condemnation of UP Government trying to divert the "Hathras Gangrape and Murder case" by accusing and arresting four PFI members in Uttar Pradesh.
The members of the association carried out the protest demonstration at Sora, Sangaiyumpham, Mayang Imphal Bengoon, Irong Cheishaba and Lilong Haoreibi along with the locals condemning the charges levelled against the four arrested and unnecessarily dragging the PFI over the issue.
The allegation levelled against the association of creating tension in Hathras after a dalit girl was gangraped and murdered merciless, is baseless and unfounded, said UPI in the State.
Two of the four arrested are students and one is a journalist, said UPI while adding that they were arrested when they were trying to reach out to the bereaved family and help.
No false or misleading charges can malign and suppress PFI, it said and continued that no force can subdue movements to uphold human rights.
