Mangaluru, Feb 3: An elderly couple was brutally attacked by a group of miscreants, suspected to be activists of a saffron group at Kalladka in Bantwal taluk on Monday night.

The unprovoked and unexpected attack took place hours after miscreants belonging to two communities involved in a clash following a road accident in the communally sensitive town.

It is learnt that the miscreants waylaid and attacked 80-year-old Ahmed Ali and his 75-year-old wife Mariyamma, residents of Kalladka, when they were returning home after visiting a private hospital for routine health check up.

Both of them have sustained severe injuries in the attack and have been undergoing treatment in the intensive care unit of a private hospital in Mangaluru.

“I am suffering from age related multiple ailments including heart and blood pressure problems. My wife is also suffering from high blood pressure. We have to visit the hospital at least once in a week. On Monday we went to a nearby hospital at around 5 p.m. and when we started walking towards home it was around 8:30 p.m.,” says Ahmed Ali, who was not even aware of the group clash that took place in Kalladka prior to the attack.

“A group of 10 to 15 miscreants approached us and started hurling abusive words. Then they began to manhandle us. One among them attempted to hit on my head with a heavy stick. When I tried to escape it hit on my cheek,” he says.

Ahmed Ali’s 23-year-old son Abdul Razzak, who rushed to spot, was also attacked by the same group of miscreants. However, he was discharged from the hospital after treatment.

Mariyamma, who is in a state of shock, said that neither she nor his husband was aware why they were beaten by the mob without any provocation. “Our elder son is a daily wage worker. He has to take care of our family. Our younger son is mentally challenged. Who will bear our hospital bills now? Only Allah can help us,” she said.

Muslim body condemns

Strongly condemning the brutal attack by miscreants in Kalladka, Dakshina Kannada United Muslims Organisation has urged the police to nab the culprits immediately.

A delegation of the organisation led by its president K Ashraf visited the couple in the hospital on Tuesday to give them moral support.

“This is one more attempt by anti-social elements to disrupt peace in the society. Police should immediately arrest the culprits and give justice to this elderly couple,” said Mr. Ashraf.

RSS needs bunch of coward sena to attack an old man or woman. It shows that they are not only coward but impotent too.

They are coward because they are the followers of Rama, one who used monkey sena to save his wife from ravana.

Dear Shivaji,

From where you received that the aged couples are attacked by relatives? If it is true its inhuman. However, no relatives will attack the old couples such way where they cannot bear the pain. No media reported that the attack was by relatives, you have to clarify the source of your news.

This is not new in DK, RSS thugs and police attack aged Muslims people at thier home or outside. There are ample evidence, RSS thugs dressed in Police uniforms attacked homes in Ullala and other places in Mangalore recently. A MLC from BJP admitted that 60% RSS thugs are in Police force in Mangalore.

Kalladka is Communally sensitive since a long time, Police department sincerely work in this area to bring the peace.

Kochi, Jan 16: Kicking up a debate, an influential Catholic Church in Kerala has said "Love Jihad is a reality" and alleged that scores of women from Christian community from the southern state were being lured into the trap of Islamic State and used in terror activities.

The synod of Syro-Malabar Church, an apex body of Catholic Bishops chaired by Cardinal George Alencherry, also accused the state police of not viewing the matter cautiously and taking timely action in 'Love Jihad' cases.

Denying the charges, the Popular Front of India (PFI) questioned the "timing" of the statement and urged the Church to withdraw it immediately "as it would only help create division amid growing unity among various sections of society against Hindutva Fascism."

The Viswa Hindu Parishad (VHP) welcomed the Church statement and called for a united fight against 'Love Jihad' in Kerala Society.

An official of the Kerala State Women's Commission refused to comment, considering the sensitivity involved in the matter.

There was no immediate reaction from the police and government as well.

"There are circumstances in which Christian girls are killed in the name of Love Jihad in Kerala," the Synod has alleged in a statement issued through Syro-Malabar Media Commission here on Tuesday night, referring to the attacks against Christians across the world.

The Synod has termed as "shocking" the killing of Christians in Nigeria on Christmas day.

It is a matter of concern that Love Jihad is gaining grounds in Kerala putting in danger its social peace and communal harmony, the Synod said.

"It is a reality that 'Love Jihad' is happening in Kerala in a planned manner targeting Christian girls," it said.

The Synod, referring to a police record, said out of 21 people who were recruited into Islamic State terror outfit, half of them were converted from Christian faith and it should be an eye opener for the community.

Noting that unofficial accounts say many girls were being used in terror activities through Love Jihad, the Synod said it was a serious matter and such accounts state that Love Jihad is not only "in the imagination".

The Synod, however, said it was not assessing the 'Love Jihad' as an issue affecting the friendship between religions and urged the government to treat it as one related to law and order and not as a religious matter.

The Church demanded speedy action against the culprits involved in the 'Love Jihad.'

It also called for efforts to sensitise parents and children about the dangers of Love Jihad.

The PFI, often being accused of playing key roles in alleged 'Love Jihad' cases in Kerala, claimed that the state police, after conducting a thorough probe, had earlier submitted a report in the Kerala High Court, stating that there was no cases of 'Love Jihad' in the state.

"The Church is raising such a baseless allegation at a time when the minorities including Muslims and Christians and the people of Hindu community are in a joint fight against the Fascist government at the Centre.

Their untimely statement would only help divert the people's attention from the key issues that society is facing at present", PFI State President Naziruddin Elamaram told PTI.

Urging the Bishops to immediately withdraw the statement, he said, "I don't know what is their interest in making such a statement at this juncture."

Not a single Muslim community is holding 'Love Jihad' to increase the number of Muslims here, Elamaram claimed.

He, however, said there were instance of inter-religious marriages in Kerala in which Muslim girls marrying Hindu and Christian boys and Hindu and Christian girls selecting partners from the religions of their choice.

Such marriages cannot be termed as 'Love Jihad', he said.

Asked about the Bishops' allegations that Christian girls are targeted and recruited to Islamic State terror outift, the PFI leader said not a single Muslim organisation in India have recognised the Islamic State and such recruitments should not be seen as part of a 'jihad' as doubts prevail in minds on who created the IS.

Former president of the VHP, SJR Kumar claimed that 'Love Jihad' exists in Kerala society.

He alleged that there were centres in Kerala to "convert Hindu and Christian girls who are being lured into the trap of love by youths with criminal backgrounds".

"We have brought this issue into the attention of the Kerala society much earlier. But nobody listened to us.

Now, we are happy that the Bishops have realised the threat of Love Jihad. It is the time of a joint fight against this menace," Kumar told PTI.

He also alleged that Muslim men trap Hindu and Christian women into marriage and forcing them to convert to Islam.

"The converted Hindu and Christian girls are being used in drug trafficking and terrorism," Kumar said.
