AB Ibrahim cautions against withdrawal of cases against Pramod Muthalik

muthalikMangaluru, Jan 1: Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner AB Ibrahim has expressed deep concern over the reports on possibility of withdrawal of more than a dozen cases against Sri Rama Sene leader Pramod Muthalik.

In a letter addressed to Additional Chief Secretary of the Home Department Mr Ibrahim cautioned against the proposal to drop 13 cases, including 12 hate-speech cases against Muthalik.

“Such a move would send wrong signals and demoralise the police force,” the deputy commissioner said.

It’s worth mentioning here that the Home Ministry had written to the Director of Prosecution to get the opinion of prosecutors on the proposal to drop the 13 cases, including the infamous 2009 pub attack case. Muthalik himself had expressed surprise and shock over the development.

Mr. Ibrahim, in his letter dated December 28, 2015 advised the government against giving freedom to those who indulge in immoral policing and spread communal hatred.

Withdrawal of cases against Muthalik could motivate other fringe elements to take law into their own hands, the DC said.

Mangaluru, Jun 2: Even as the mosques in Karnataka recieved green signal from state government to reopen for congregational prayers from June 8, a senior Islamic scholar in coastal Karnataka has encouraged Muslims to prefer to offer prayers at homes during covid times. 

Twaqa Ahmed Al-Azhari, the Qadhi of Mangaluru, has welcomed the state government's decision to allow Muslims to offer congregational prayers including Jum'a prayers with certain precautions and conditions.

"Government has upheld our religions sentiments. All the mosques where congregational prayers will be held from June 8 should strictly follow all the guidelines issued by the government," he said. 

He also suggested that if any mosque is not in a position to follow all the guidelines issued by the government then it should refrain from holding congregational prayers. "Muslims can continue offer Fard and Jumá prayers at homes as the cornavirus pandemic is still spreading in the region and across the world," he said.
