Kerala-based Popular Front of India has come under the
scanner of intelligence agencies for its suspected role in spreading
inflammatory SMSs and MMSs following Assam violence, that triggered exodus of
northeastern people from Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.Taking note of reports in this regard in local media, state
Home Minister Thiruvanchur Radhakrishnan has asked ADGP (Intelligence) to
cross-check the matter with Central authorities."We have taken note of the reports. The intelligence
head of state police has been asked to cross-check the matter with Central
agencies to find out the facts," Radhakrishnan told PTI.He said so far there had been no reported incident of panic
fleeing by migrant North Easterners from Kerala as had happened in some other
states.Only an isolated case of some unidentified persons
intimidating migrant workers in a hollow-brick unit in Malappuram district had
been reported and cases had been registered against 12 persons, he said.Meanwhile, rejecting reports that it was involved in
creating scare among the labourers from North East states, PFI general
secretary Abdul Hameed said the organisation was ready to face any inquiry."This is not for the first time that PFI is being
targetted. In all earlier cases, PFI has proved the allegations wrong and come
out clean. But, unfortunately, our innocence never used to get published in
media," Hameed told PTI.
