Popular Front of India floated

Bangalore, Dec 9 (UNI) A new socio-economic outfit called Popular Front of India, an amalgamation of three organisations based in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, came into existence today with a view to coordinate and strengthen developmental activities at the grassroot level.

Karnataka Forum for Dignity, Kerala's National Development Front and Tamil Nadu based Manitha Neethi Pasarai have jointly floated the organisation.

Announcing this here Front Chairman E Abubacker said the need for a Front arose following failure of existing socio-economic models of development to alleviate poverty and backwardness of the people in the country.

The new outfit was a movement for realisation of a society in which freedom, justice and security were equally enjoyed by the people of all classes, he explained.

The activities of the front would remain confined to the South Indian states, he added.
