The political wing of the Popular Front of India (PFI), Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) is trying hard to re-group its cadres and strengthen the party in Kerala after the ban on the PFI and its top leaders had been jailed, The Hindustan Times reports on January 28. The SDPI, founded in 2008, which had been keeping a low-profile for three months after the nation-wide crackdown on its parent outfit, started protests throughout Kerala with meetings organised outside the state secretariat and in Kochi in Ernakulam District on Jan 26. SDPI National President M K Faizy stated, “We will bounce back. No one will remain destitute due to the ongoing clamp down and attachment of properties. As a political party we will protect our families and cadres. The party will expose the fascist measures taken by the RSS-controlled government.”
