Abu Dhabi Karnataka Sangha's love forMuslim-baiter' irks Kannadigas in UAE

Dubai, Oct 25: Abu Dhabi Karnataka Sangha's decision to invite Muslim-baiter Chakravarty Sulibele as the chief guest for its upcomingKarnataka Rajyotsava' celebration has triggered a controversy with many non resident Kannadigas (NRKs) in the United Arab Emirates asking the organisers to keep communal forces and anti-social elements at bay.

chakraIn its bilingual invitation card for the November 4 event to be held at Indian Social and Cultural Centre in Abu Dhabi, the Sangha has described Sulibele as anationalist thinker' andgreat orator'. According to organisers, NRI tycoon B R Shetty will preside over the event. On the same occasion sculptor and writer B K Ganesh Rai will be conferred with Da Ra Bendra award.

Responding to the development, Sandhya Baliga, an NRK in UAE said that she was shocked to see a hate-monger's photo on the invitation card on WhatsApp. “This is a blunder on organiser's part. They must drop him from the guest list and preserve the dignity of Kannadigas in UAE,” she said.

Anil Pinto, an engineer from Managluru, who recently found a job in Abu Dhbai, said that the organisers are dishonouring themselves by deciding to honour a self-proclaimed Hinduva leader, who is also a close associate of Naresh Shenoy, the Yuva Brigade leader and main accused in Mangaluru RTI activist Vinayak Baliga murder case.

“This Sulibele had rushed to the prison to accord a warm welcome to the prime accused in the murder case when the latter managed to secure bail last month,” he recalled.

Prathima Bengaluru, who is working as a school teacher in Abu Dhbai, expressing her strong opposition to Sangha's decision, said that the only speciality of Sulibele is that he can provoke uneducated Bajrang Dal activists.

“Unfortunately, the number of such hate-mongers and their followers is growing in Karnataka these days. All of them are anti-social elements. NRIs in UAE are true patriots who remit a huge amount of money to their motherland every month. They should not develop friendship with communal leaders,” she opined.

Meanwhile, some other Kannadigas in UAE have found no fault in Sangaha's decision. “What's wrong in inviting a Sangh Parivar leader as a guest? Now he thinks that provoking Hindus and abusing Muslims isnationalism'. Let him come here and learn true nationalism from us,” said Mohammad Saleem from Udupi, who works for a multi-national company in Abu Dhbai.

“Sulibele's thoughts are very uncivilised and silly because he never mingled with all kinds of Indians. His world is Sangh Pariviar. We should give him opportunity to mingle with good human beings,” said Abdul Basith another NRK from Mangaluru.

While you are in India, you enjoy all sorts of privileges and when you are in UAE, it suddenly becomes communal! Come on, guys, have the courage to face some criticism too; don't just run away from reality; you are getting a taste of your own medicine; who is spewing venom, who's anti national you will know when you invite people like Owaisi Brothers, the vote bank politicians like Didi, Behenji, MS and the like! I guess, you would welcome Pappu to do national justice!

Dear Rasheed...
Many of the non muslims learn islam from islam-haters..which is completely opposite way of the real teachings of ISLAM... its easy for them to divert from the TRUTH cos of their IGNORANCE.

Me and YOU as a Muslim should convey the real basic teaching of ISLAM rather than keeping quiet and letting them to continue their hatred towards the religion of PEACE..

ALLAH controls the heart, We should learn on How Umar RA who was staunch enemy of Prophet accepted ISLAM when the TRUTH was presented by a Muslim.... Until then he was hating ISLAM just thinking what was presented to him by the haters of that time and wanted to attack the prophet pbuh...

TRUTH will Prevail... Dont Judge a person they will not accept the TRUTH...

During the Month of February (SJM) in association with (SEDC) in Mangalore Town Hall conducted a symposium on ‘Madrasa system in secular society’. They invited Yuva Brigade leader Chakravarty Sulibele, who is a popular Kannada orator among Sangh Parivar, he said that the rapid growth in Muslim population around the globe in last few decades was not strengthening the community but making the community poor and weak.

However the population could not be a reason for increasing poverty. “While renowned economists like Amartya Sen talk about how population can be used as a resource for the development of the country, vested interests blame people or population for the failure of governments”.
Stating that there is a need to end misconceptions among people about Islam and its madrasa system, madrasas in India produced thousands of freedom fighters and not terrorists. “Even today madrasa advocates patriotism,” and recent years we see most of Madrasa and Mosque hoisting National flag during National days like Independence day and Republic days, however we can’t see National flag in so called Nationalist Organization RSS headquarters or any Sangh organization.
One must understand the fact that Soolibele and his team will not rest until India become Hindurastra. The so-called secular people in Karnataka Sangh Abu Dhabi make any adjustment with RSS ideology but they won't change their mind-set. each and every opportunity what you provide for them they will make it as a weapon to criticize in other stage. I can understand the intention of the organiser but the outcome will be negative impact on secular NRI Kannadigas, therefore all the like minded people should stand together to defeat the intention of internal organizers.
All these things are happening here in result of recently RSS chief held a series of closed-door meetings in Thanthra Vidya Peettham at Aluva near Kochi in Kerala with prominent NRI businessmen seeking their cooperation in expanding the organisation and strengthening its activities gulf countries.

It looks like Kannada Sangha is a face of RSS. The both invitees are RSS. Dr. Shetty is also a strong RSS man but a big businessman. As par as Mr. Solibele, he is well known anti Muslim RSS youth leader. That is not a big matter. But he was supported and went along to jail to welcome a murderer last month. That too an innocent Hindu RTI activist was killed . Do you need such a Kalanka Man to talk in your Organizations function??? What kind of talk , advise we can expect from such a communal person.
Keep Karnataka Sangha away from all these politics and run the organization with the love and unity with the all religion NRI's who are staying like a brothers in Gulf countries. Don't bring poison from India to our Indian society in the gulf.

Thank God they cancelled his trip.it is purely because of high pressure put by various organizations,community leaders and individuals. I salute them for their brave act of unity.

We Indians in U.A.E. are living in a very brotherly and harmonies way of life.And what made Mr. Shetty and his team to invite a man who claimed he and Bajrarangdal -born to burn Masjid,Church and Muslims.
Karnataka Sangha, Abu Dhabi is biased against certain segment of the society ,and show is run by it's president and his bunch of crony supporters.
And just to eye wash the Kannadiga's they put two of their\ chelas\"( \"houdu basavanna,alla basavaan type\" ) as representatives from Muslim community.

I have seen these 2 Muslim members name in the invitation,shame on them. They should have opposed this move from the day one,but why they kept quiet.?It is shame that they failed to to ensure the brotherly relationships or afraid of President!

Better they come out of this evil Sangha, and be with the Larger Ummaha.

Me being a Kannadiga- very uncomfortable and disappointed by such continually biased act of Karnataka Sangha against Muslims

Hope good will prevail !"

As Mr. Abdul basith said... \His world is sangh parivar...\"
Let him come and see what is the world outside of SP...
There are many who changed their mind when they really interacted with the Muslims ...
It is easy to the cheddis to create hate mongers by showing them only doctored clips and LIES...
Muslims should invite him also and explain what is ISLAM and its teachings...
Cos cheddis have filled their software from very young with hate of islam and humanity.
God has given intellect ... When we grow up we should use our intellect to know if ISLAM really hates non muslims or Not...? Dont be a SLAVE of the cheddi software...
For Grown up cheddi members use your intellect and try to learn what islam says... or U will be in DARKNESS of the REALITY of who is the enemy of humanity."

This is a conspiracy of RSS to spread its hate monger idealogy among Kannadigas working in the gulf states. So far all working here without any differences. So they want to spread this divide and rule policy among NRIs too. Muslim countries do not understand this. These kind of hate mongers, who is not allowing citizens of india to live peacefully, should not be entertained. He should be stopped at all means. Please bring this to the authorities of UAE.

Thanks CD for this timely report.
In fact every one Knows about Chkravarthi Sulibele.
Why did Karnataka Sanga plan to Bring Him for Rajyotsava prongram?
He is a communal leader and they want to Build good reputation for him in UAE. that's Why they planned to depict him as public figure.

Muslims in Mangalore also accept the fact that Sulibele Sir is a great orator. A Muslim group had invited him to give lecture on Madrasa. Why can't we invite him? Thum Kare Tho Chamatkar, hum Kare tho balatkar?

Now it is 100% clear the rss chaddi planning to insurt their nose in respective NRIs cultral actuvites. will not allow them to suceed in communal agenda. This is the double game of Mr Shetty. He is also a sanghi rss member now helping rss to create communal tension n to spoil our great Kannadiga unity out side India. Suggest to call UAE local leaders or any rulers family. Last month for one of hindu religious program organizers invited UAE ruling family member.

Some organisation should be take this up to higher UAE authority with detailed information about Sulibele.
Online campaign, through Twitter or other social media should inform UAE authority before too late or before terrorise UAE Indians.
Sulibele will be lead to civil war between Indian communities in UAE if they allow him.

Dubai, Apr 11: An Indian expat in the UAE is facing police action for allegedly insulting Islam on social media in response to a Facebook post on the coronavirus, according to a media report.

Rakesh B Kitturmath, who worked as a team leader at Emrill Services, an integrated facilities management (FM) headquartered in Dubai, was sacked on Thursday after his post sparked outrage on social media, the Gulf News reported.

“Kitturmath’s employment stands terminated with immediate effect. He will be handed over to Dubai Police. We have a zero-tolerance policy towards such hate crimes,” said Stuart Harrison, CEO of Emrill Services.

"As an organisation, we have worked hard over the years to embrace diversity and create a culture of inclusion, where every nationality, religion and background is welcomed and celebrated. We have a strict social media policy for our employees to ensure they respect our values, both inside and outside of work," the newspaper quoted Harrison as saying.

Harrison said they are trying to find out if Kitturmath was still in the UAE, according to the report.

“We have over 8,500 employees so this may take a while. That said, we have fired him. If he’s still in the country, he will be handed over to Dubai Police,” he said.

Originally from Ranebennuri, Karnataka, Kitturmath joins an ever-growing list of Indian ex-pats who have landed in trouble for alleged Islamophobic messages in recent days.

Earlier this week, Abu Dhabi resident Mitesh Udeshi was sacked for posting a cartoon mocking Islam on his Facebook page while a police complaint was filed against Sameer Bhandari of Future Vision Events & Weddings’ in Dubai after he asked a Muslim job seeker from India to go back to Pakistan.

The UAE outlaws all religious or racial discrimination under a legislation passed in 2015.

The anti-discrimination/anti-hatred law prohibits all acts “that stoke religious hatred and/or which insult religion through any form of expression, be it speech or the written word, books, pamphlets or via online media.”

Kochi, Jan 22: Rail passengers from Kerala are a happy lot as the state’s traditional food items such as appam and eggcurry, puttu and kadala curry have found their way back to the revised menu of the Railways in the wake of protests over reports that they were replaced by north indian delicacies.

The popular Kerala dishes were reinstated to the list following social media backlash over the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation’s reported decision to replace the favorite cuisine of Malayalis from its menu with north Indian dishes such as Kachori and Chole Bhature.

Ernakulam MP Hibi Eden, who had shot off a letter to Railway Minister Piyush Goyal raising the issue of alleged discrimination against Keralites, got an assurance from the IRCTC officials that popular items, including snacks such as unniyappam and sukhiyan will be served through its outlets in the state.

Eden said the IRCTC officials who visited him at his home on Wednesday morning have presented him with the list of delicacies to be served by its local vendors in Kerala. In his letter to the minister, the MP had stated that dishes which are very important to Malayalis for breakfast such as appam, egg curry, porotta, dosa, steam cake (puttu) were excluded along with snacks such as banana fry (pazham pori), kozhukkatta, unniyappam, neyyappam and sukhiyan.  He had also raised the issue of hike in price of food items.

According to him, price of meals has been increased from RS 35 to 70 and that ofsnacks such as vada from Rs 8 to 15.  While the price of vada has not been reduced, the fare of snack meal like parotta, chappathi, idiyappam, appam and puttu with kadala curry or egg curry will be served at Rs 50.  According to IRCTC, a passenger will have to shell out Rs 20 for unniyappam/sukhiyan/neyyappam, 2 numbers each.  Informing Goyal of the changes in menu, he said Malayalis are discriminated in trains and railway refreshment rooms by the food which is the right of every passenger.

He had sought urgent intervention of the Minister and speedy action in the matter.

Mangaluru, Jan 27: No power can now stop Kashmiri Pandits from going back to Kashmir, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Monday, forcefully defending the NDA government’s decision to reorganise Jammu and Kashmir and abrogating its special status under Article 370.

Addressing a massive pro-CAA, NRC rally organised by the Bharatiya Janata Party at Gold Finch city, Kuloor, on the outskirts of the city, the Defence minister also sent a strong message to Pakistan and said India will not let anyone live in peace if it is harmed.

"We will not touch anyone, but if someone bothers us, then we are not going to let them live in peace," he said.

Referring to the exodus of a large number of Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley in the late 1990s at the height of militancy, Singh said no power now can stop them from returning to their homes.

On the Citizenship Amendment Act, the minister said it is not a law to hurt the sentiments of any religion but to give relief to victims of religious persecution.

Mahatma Gandhi had told Nehru to give citizenship to minorities like Hindus and Sikhs if they come to India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has fulfilled that vision by bringing in the law, Singh said.

On several non-BJP states refusing to implement the CAA, the defence minister said it it is a central law and everyone should follow it.

Accusing the Congress of misleading people on the issue, he said the party should not forget its duty towards the nation just because it is in opposition.
