The Popular Front of India (PFI) and 12 other outfits are planning to move court seeking a ban on Hindu Munnani for triggering violence and indulging in vandalism in Coimbatore and Tirupur districts.
They have also forwarded a petition to the City Police Commissioner seeking detention of Hindu Munnani State president C. Subramaniam under the Goondas Act for making certain remarks during a press briefing following the murder of Hindu Munnani functionary C. Sasikumar.
“Mr. Subramaniam has stated that if the attacks on Hindu Munnani leaders continue unabatedly, possibilities will arise of Tamil Nadu becoming a Gujarat. This is a threat-like statement considering the series of violent incidents that happened in Gujarat over the years and hence, he should be detained,”said Abdul Wahab, spokesperson of PFI.
The 12 organisations, including the PFI, the SDPI, the Tamizhaga Makkal Jananayaka Katchi and the Marumalarchi Tamil Nadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam among others, would take legal steps to get the Hindu Munnani banned. “Similar instigated violence occurred in the past too. Such rampage curtailed human rights apart from causing destruction of public and private property, said Mr. Wahab.
Meanwhile, “Mr. C. Subramaniam told The Hindu that what he meant by possibilities of Tamil Nadu becoming a Gujarat was speculating the chances of BJP coming to power like it did in Gujarat.
