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

October 25, 2016

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.

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, May 12: Free tickets are being offered by philanthropists and businessmen based in the UAE for deserving Indians who want to fly home.

Repatriation ticket prices have been set at around Dh700 to Dh750 per person depending on the destination. But there are many in UAE who cannot afford it, especially people who have lost their jobs or have medical concerns.

Malayalam Communications Ltd and its Malayalam stations (Kairali TV & Kairali News) are giving away 1,000 tickets free. Those who wish to apply can submit their application to [email protected].

Indian businessman Dhananjay Datar, chairman & managing director of Al Adil Trading Company, is also giving away 300 tickets. He is liasing with the Consulate General of India (CGI) for the names. “This is the time we need to rise as a community,” he said.

Besides taking care of airfares, Datar will also bear the cost of COVID-19 testing fees for Indians from the UAE.

“The repatriation efforts undertaken by the government of India is one of the largest initiatives. I am just doing a small bit to help the community. There are many people who are not in a position to meet the airfare and COVID testing costs as they have lost jobs. I will be coordinating with authorised entities handing this to lend my support,” he said.

Pravasi India Forum, a welfare organisation in UAE, is giving away 100 tickets. The NGO on Monday, May 11, uploaded a registration form where people can provide their details. “Tickets will be given to those approved by CGI and for those who are in financial distress,” said Abulaise, president of Pravasi Welfare Forum.

Punnakan Mohammed Ali, general secretary Incas UAE committee, said it is also ready to give away hundreds of free tickets but only to genuine candidates. “We will evaluate each individual and only if they are approved by the consulate, we will give the tickets. But we are ready to help.”

Those who want to register can get more details on www.pravasiwelfareforum.com.They can also call 055-1025611.

Need for more flights

The gesture notwithstanding, many Indians are still waiting to get news on their repatration.

Social worker Shukoorali Kallangal, President, Abu Dhabi Kerala Muslim Cultural Centre (KMCC), urged the government of India to add more flights to accommodate more passengers.

“Emergency repatriation services are the need of the hour. There are several expats with medical, financial distress. For those who came with the hope of a job – that too is a thing of the past now. Right now all they want is to go home and start something afresh there.”

Kallangal said: “Take the case of pregnant women. In many cases, their husbands have lost jobs or have been asked to go on unpaid leave. They are living hand to mouth and cannot afford medical costs. Due consideration should be given to them.”

Sreedharan Prasad, another social worker based in Ras Al Khaimah, said he is currently dealing with several emergency medical cases.

Consul General of India Vipul said plans are afoot to add more flights in the next phase of Indian repatriation. “The number of flights are being decided by India in consultation with state governments. This is not a normal situation we all are in. We are in the middle of a pandemic situation.”

New Delhi, May 12: Minorities are "flourishing" in India and have been an equal partner in development without discrimination under the Modi government, Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said on Tuesday, dismissing allegations of Islamophobia as an attempt to defame the country.

The "Narendra Modi phobia club” has been unable to digest the inclusive growth under the prime minister and is engaged in a "nefarious campaign" in India and abroad through fake propaganda alleging "intolerance, communalism and discrimination" against minorities in India, Naqvi said.

In a blog titled "Islamophobia -- Bogey of Bogus Bashing Brigade", the minority affairs minister argued that the "Modi phobia club" is playing the “Islamophobia card" to harm the pluralistic fabric of India, but will not succeed.

Naqvi's remarks come days after a wave of angry reactions on Twitter by citizens and rights activists from various Arab countries following allegations that Muslims are being blamed for spreading COVID-19 in parts of India.

Also, the 57-member prominent international Mulim grouping, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, recently accused India of "Islamophobia".

India has dismissed all such allegations.

"Minorities in India are flourishing equally with all the citizens with a sense of equality, security and prosperity. Misinformation against such a gracious and tolerant country and its effective leadership is nothing but the height of ignorance and mental bankruptcy," Naqvi said.

He claimed that no riot took place in last 5 years of the Modi government and it was after "nefarious preaching" by those who were irked by this that the Delhi riots happened.

Naqvi said the women who sat on protests at Shaheen Bagh cannot be termed "anti-nationals" but they had been "misguided by the bogus bashing brigade”.

This brigade pushed these women on a path which had an “entry gate” but no “exit gate”, the minister said.

This was a “calculated conspiracy” by the brigade that wants to defame and disgrace Modi and India, Naqvi said.

He also argued that for the "first time since Independence", India has forged close and strong ties with nearly all Islamic nations and countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Afghanistan, Russia, Palestine, Mauritius and the Maldives have conferred Modi with their highest civilian awards.

"The United Nations has also conferred Narendra Modi with the prestigious 'Champions of the Earth Award'. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's global acceptance and popularity doesn't need any certificate," Naqvi said.

The Modi government never planned development on the basis of Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians or on region and caste, and its priority has been the poor and deprived, Naqvi said, adding that still some people with a “prejudiced mindset” are trying to defame India by raising the bogey of Islamophobia.

There is not a single incident of discrimination against any section of the society, including minorities under the Modi government, the minister asserted.

All sections, including minorities, are strongly moving forward on the path of “development with dignity” under the Modi government, he said.

When the challenges due to the coronavirus were in initial stages across the world in early January and several countries, including Pakistan, had not taken care of their people abroad, it was the Modi government that brought back thousands of Indians stranded in Wuhan (China), Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and other countries, Naqvi said, adding that a majority of these people were Muslims.

In the recent Vande Bharat Mission also, the Indian government is bringing back thousands of Indians from countries such as the Maldives, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Qatar and other countries which include a large number of Muslims, he pointed out.

"Strong eternal commitment of my country will defeat and demolish the fake and fabricated Islamophobia card of the 'India bashing brigade'," Naqvi said in his blog.
