Indian Government tries to scuttle the voices protest against US unjust War on the People of Afghanistan Condemn the Arrests of AIPRF Activists and raid on AIPRF central office in Delhi. The Delhi Police raided the residence (also all India office) of G N Saibaba, the All India General secretary of All India Peoples Resistance Forum (AIPRF) at 11am today i.e. on 8th August at Pitampura, Delhi for taking a campaign against US War against Afghanistan. They confiscicated leaflets of the campaign saying those who are against US war are against Indian national integrity because India Government is supporting US war against Afghanistan. They have also called AIPRF anti- national and attributed links with recently banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). Apparently the Delhi cops were acting under direct instructions from the central Home Ministry and IB to quickly suppress the anti-war protests. The Police arrested six activists of AIPRF, who were distributing leaflets in the residential colonies near Nandanagari colony near Bhajanpura (Jamuna Area of Delhi). The AIPRF activists are Sunil Singh, Sunil (same name) Jeevan, Gurmit, Shahajad, and Naveen all in their twenties. The journalists, other activists and lawyers who went to enquire at Bhajanpura police station were not allowed to meet our activists in the station. The police produced the six activists in their custody before a court the in the evening. The court remanded them for 14 days of judicial custody. Apart from two sections of IPC, a political conspiracy case has been foisted on the six activists. Mean while, the General Secretary G N Saibaba along with two more activists of AIPRF continued to be almost under the house arrest. Four batches of police officers interrogated him between 11 am and 11 pm for 12 hours in the residence-cum office. Finally, they issued a notice that he should attend for further interrogation on the anti-war actions of AIPRF before some top police officers on the next day i.e. on 9th September at 10 am. However, despite this swift crackdown on the organization in Delhi, AIPRF resolves to organize countrywide protests against US imperialist war on the people of Afghanistan and on the whole oppressed world in the name of fighting terrorism. AIPRF has been taking up several anti-war actions in various states. AIPRF shares the grief of the Afgan people who were killed in the US-led military strikes in two rounds in the last 24 hours. AIPRF also continues to support the religious and national minorities in all parts of India at this crucial juncture of time when they are persecuted by the Hindutva forces in complicity with the ruling NDA Government in the name containing terrorism and supporting US imperialst war for oil and more military bases in the Middle East. AIPRF appeals to all democratic organsations and individuals to condemn the crackdown on the organization.
