This is the result of self invented method of worshiping, being a bachelor.
During young and healthier stage, Sex is much important as food to live, so the God has instructed to achieve it in a modesty way by marrying.

Marry and become a priest. Marrying and looking after the family is also a worship. If you do the worship in your own way against the will of God, then need to face all these consequences.
Such case is increasing even in the senor priests of Vetican level.

If Mr. Yediyurappa gives permission as reqested by Ibrahim, it will be adisastor for Muslims community, Saudi Arabia imposed , full curfew from 23rd to 30th May, 2020, this is to avoid Eid gathering and spread of Corona Virus, our community should boycott such so called self declared leader.

Any new cases of Covid-19 cases will be blamed as Eid Jihad, request all our like minded people to protest this request.

CM Ibrahim is just trying to attract media and public atttention. he is a useless politician.
