Amit Shah Questions Safety of Karnataka as Banned PFI’s SDPI Backs Congress: Criticizes Cong’s Alliance Amid Security Concerns

Union Home Minister Amit Shah criticized the Congress party after the banned radical outfit Popular Front of India’s political wing, Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), announced its support for the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) in Karnataka and Kerala. Shah raised concerns about the safety of Karnataka under a Congress government, citing recent blasts in Bengaluru and SDPI’s support for the Congress.

Shah’s remarks came during a roadshow in Ramanagara, Karnataka. He emphasized the threat to constitutional values, citing the BJP’s efforts for a citizenship law based on religion and plans for a Uniform Civil Code. SDPI’s state President Muvattupuzha Ashraf Moulavi’s statement about supporting the UDF against the BJP nationally further fueled Shah’s criticism.

However, Senior Congress leader VD Satheesan denied any formal talks or agreement with the SDPI, stating that various organizations support the UDF against fascism. Kerala BJP chief K Surendran, contesting against Rahul Gandhi in Wayanad, condemned the Congress for receiving support from SDPI, a banned organization.

In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, SDPI contested 10 seats in Kerala independently, securing a minimal vote share. The Narendra Modi government banned PFI and its affiliates in 2022 for five years, citing international linkages with terrorist groups and involvement in terror activities abroad.

Shah also targeted the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government in Karnataka, accusing it of neglecting the state’s development. He criticized the government’s handling of drought relief, alleging delays in seeking assistance from the center.

Shah’s remarks reflect ongoing political tensions between the BJP and Congress, particularly concerning issues of national security and governance in states like Karnataka and Kerala.
