The People's Front of India staged a protest march in Kerala to oppose the National Investigation Agency's raids across the country.
The People's Front of India (PFI) organized a protest march in Kerala to oppose the National Investigation Agency’s (NIA) raids that have taken place across India. The march was held in a prominent public space in the state, drawing members of the PFI and supporters of the organization. Participants carried placards and chanted slogans demanding a halt to the NIA operations, citing concerns over civil liberties and due process.
PFI leaders used the occasion to criticize the central government’s security measures, arguing that the raids were conducted without sufficient transparency. The march was conducted peacefully, with local authorities allowing the demonstration to proceed after ensuring crowd control measures were in place.
The protest reflects growing dissent among certain political groups over the NIA’s expanded mandate and its impact on civil society in Kerala. While the march focused on the NIA raids, it also highlighted broader concerns about the balance between national security and individual rights.
