Popular Front launches educational project “School Chalo 2012”
10,000 School kits distributed in West Bengal and Manipur

Educational Empowerment is essential to developing the society. Hence various programmes are being undertaken by Popular Front of India in the field of education. One of the major programmes for achieving educational empowerment is the re-enrollment of students in rural and backward areas. Every year during the summer vacation period, Popular Front conducts a nation wide campaign “School Chalo” to achieve complete enrollment in socially and economically backward areas. School Chalo campaign has proved to be very successful over the years due to its grass root level implementation.
This year from May to June Popular Front units and cadres across the country will be engaged in School Chalo (Go to School) campaign prior to the new academic year. The campaign will aim to ensure that all boys and girls go to school in primary and secondary levels. During the months of May and June which is the school admission period in most states Popular Front cadres will undertake an intensive survey in selected areas all over the country for identifying the students who have dropped out from school and other students who need aid to continue their education. After the survey the students are provided educational aid, scholarships and other required assistances.
With every passing year the activities related to School Chalo campaign keep on increasing. This year it is decided to distribute One Lakh (1,00,000) School Kits to primary school students of North Indian states in addition to the routine programmes.
Various programmes like poster publicity, household student search surveys, assistance in enrolling children in school and readmission of drop outs, distribution of school kits, scholarship schemes, students motivation classes, career guidance camps and parent awareness classes will be undertaken at the local level. The state committees of the organization identify certain new villages for continuous follow up works to develop them as “Sarva Shiksha Gram” in addition to those adopted in the previous years. In order to ensure that poor and meritorious students are not dropped out from school, local sponsors are asked to “Adopt a Child” till the end of his/her education.
The West Bengal and Manipur State units of Popular Front of India have launched the 'School Chalo' campaign in the month of Dec 2011. Various programmes were carried to ensure m a x i m u m s c h o o l
enrolments among the poorest of students in Muslim dominated areas. The West Bengal state committee under its multi sector programme, inaugurated 8 Sarva Siksha Villages on 31st December 2011. After
conducting a grass root level surveys the kids hailing from socially and economically backward families were provided with school kits which includes uniforms, books, bags and stationeries.

Snap ties with the Zionist State Demands Popular Front
Popular Front of India h a s l a u n c h e d a nationwide campaign demanding the UPA government to snap all ties with the Zionist state of Israel. The increasing influence of Israel on the foreign and internal policy of our country is a very serious threat to the sovere ignty o f our country. It has also dented our international prestige and turned us in to a client state of the U. S. in South East Asia.
Due to the growing Israeli influence on India, t h e s u p p o r t e r s o f Palestinian rights and critics of Zionism are now labeled terrorists by some sections of media quoting as usual the unidentified intelligence and police sources. To secure defense deals with Israel the historic,
cultural, social and economic ties with Arab countries are given the go by. More recently after the Israel Embassy car blast case we could see how Israel was dictating terms to the w o r l d ' s l a r g e s t democracy. The recent arrest on a sen ior j o u r n a l i s t o f t h e instructions of Israeli agencies has created a sense of insecurity among the anti-Zionist voices in India.
Popular Front of India has always been in t h e f o r e f r o n t o f democratic struggles against the imperialist and Zionist aggressions.
T o f u r t h e r o u r commitment to fight the menace of imperialism and Zionism a nation-wide campaign against the growing threat of
Israel is being organised. The campaign is to create awareness among the masses about the serious threats posed by the

Implement a Constructive WAKF bill: All India Imams Council
The National Committee of All India Imam's Council called upon the central government to harmoniously construe the proposed Wakf amendment bill without any latches to achieve the tenets of the Wakf. WAKF properties have been continuously exploited by the government and the corrupt leaders of the Muslim community. Time and again there have been concerns raised by many Muslim organizations for the protection of the WAKF properties but till now there have not been any strong steps by the government to ensure its protection. The AIIC demanded the Central Government to act in this issue with utmost priority.The AIIC also expressed its displeasure on the delaying tactics of the UPA government to give reservation to Muslims. The AIIC urged the Central Government to immediately fulfill its promises and implement the suggestions proposed by the Sachar Committee and the Ranganath Mishra Commission.

The hypocrisy of these news papers was proved as most of them never published the rejoinders sent by the Popular Front. We had q u e s t i o n e d t h e authenticity of these reports and till date we have never received any convincing reply from any of these news-papers. While such derogatory reports
were published by the media, it was more disappointing that none of these newspapers ever tried to contact Popular Front leaders to know its point of view on the issues. It is a well established fact that Popular Front of India has always been in the forefront in condemning all forms of terrorism a n d a n t i - n a t i o n a l activities. Still charges of terrorism and anti-n a t i o n a l w o r k a re leveled against the organization without any evidence.
To call Popular Front of India which is one of the biggest neo-social movements in India a banned organization is not just a mistake or error but a planned conspiracy to defame the organization and an attempt to impede its influence and growth. It needs to be noted that Popular Front of India has a larger presence in south India but since last few years it is making huge leaps in many states of north India. There reasons to believe that the great success of “ S o c i a l J u s t i c e Conference” held in last November, with masses that over flowed New Delhi's Ramlila Ground, has further annoyed the vested interest groups and their agents in the media. As Popular front of India is pretty new to the masses of northern states such reports are intentionally published
by the 'Media - Sangh Parivar - Intelligence nexus' to curb the growth of Popular Front and create suspicion among the masses towards the organization.
It is in this context that Popular Front of India has decided to initiate legal proceedings against the above news papers and channels as r e s p o n s e t o t h e i r irresponsible violation of media ethics. We will proceed further with filing cases in court and taking the matter to Press Council of India in the light of the response of the above channels and news papers to our legal notice.
CNN - IBN withdraws Allegation:
After receiving the legal notice, CNN-IBN news channel has w i t h d r a w n i t s al legation against Popular Front by r e m o v i n g t h e defamatory article from i t s w e b s i t e . Simultaneously, the channel sent a reply in response with our legal notice stating that the n e w s i t e m w a s removed from the website.
