PFI cautions Congress against playing anti-minority card

July 5, 2014

Mangalore, Jul 5: Popular Front of India has condemned Congress leader A K Antony's statement which blamed minority appeasement of the party for its humiliating defeat in Lok Sabha elections.

PFI chairman K M Shareef Shareef termed the statement both baseless and irresponsible since the Kerala based leader could not produce any proof to substantiate his allegation. Mr Shareef cautioned Congress leadership about the danger of playing communal card in its vain attempt to reach out majority community.

Antony has made similar statements in the past with a view to please right wing groups. Though some Congress leaders have distanced themselves from his view, the party has neither officially condemned Antony nor asked him to withdraw the statement. It only shows that Congress leaders still neither have an objective analysis of the election results nor learned right lessons from the debacle, stated a release issued by Mr Shareef.

Mr Shareef said that no sane Indian would doubt the fact that UPA government was a failure by all means and handling of defence ministry by Antony was no exception. While these are the facts, Antony is either trying to dance in tune with the new winds of Hindutva communalism or trying to accomplish some personal agenda under the changed political climate, he said.
