Mangalore : In a press meet addressed this evening by Franklin Monteiro, arranged by the Minority cell (Morcha) of BJP at Jagannath Rao Joshi. Building in Akshaya Hall, it was stated that popular front of India was a Muslim rebel combination of SIMI and KFD outfits.

The activities conducted by PFI were ant-national in nature and had to be viewed seriously like treason. It should never be allowed to grow big. This reactionary Muslim outfit absorbs innocent Muslim Youth and brainwashes them to become terrorists like Kasab. All good Muslims should ban this organization like an outcaste, Monteiro said.

BJP district chief Padmanabha Kottari, Dy, Secretary Devdas Shetty, leaders Satish Kumpala, Clifford and Vasant Pujary attended the press meet.
