Ballari, Nov 10: Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Anand Singh on Friday inaugurated the Tipu Jayanti event at Hosapete in Ballari district of central Karnataka.

"There has been a controversy over celebrating Tipu Jayanti. BJP, the party I represent, is against Tipu Jayanti. But, for me the people of my constituency matter the most," Singh said.

He said that no political party should divide society on communal lines. "Humanity is greater than all religions."

Addressing a press meet at Vidhana Soudha in Bengaluru, Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly, Jagadish Shettar, said that BJP had been clearly opposing Tipu Jayanti celebrations. 

"But, some partymen have attended the event. We will consider it seriously and initiate stringent action against them,” he said.

This is a traitor, a turncoat to his culture, faith and party. Said, spoken and acted like a politician without character or morals.

''We have had our (Congress) Task Force meeting today, during which we discussed several matters. There is a lot of difference between the government's talk and its deeds,'' KPCC President D K Shivakumar said.

Mangaluru, Jul 31: Muslims across coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada today observed Eid al Adha following the safety guidelines issued by the government amidst covid-19 pandemic. 

While coastal Karnataka is celebrating the festival of sacrifice today, it will be observed in other parts of Karnataka and country tomorrow. 

Congregational Eid prayers were held in many mosques while ensuring physical distancing norms. Only 50 devotees were allowed in mosques. Children below 10 years of age and elders above 60 years of age weren’t allowed. 

Eidgahs in the region wore a deserted look as the government has temporarily prohibited prayers in the open grounds. The Eidgah at Lighthouse Hill in Mangaluru, which usually witnessed huge crowd during Eid celebrations, was also closed this time. 

As expected, the celebration this time was a low key thanks to the restrictions placed in tune with the threat of coronavirus infection.

Prayers were held in Kudroli’s Nadupalli and Bundar’s Zeenat Bakhsh Central mosque. All those who entered mosque were wearing masks. 

In Udupi city, Eid prayers were held at Jamia Masjid and other mosques with limited number of devotees. In Bhatkal took some of the mosques hosted Eid prayers with all precautionary measures.
