Bhatkal, Mar 2: BJP leader and Uttara Kannada MP Anant Kumar Hegde's recent provocative statement and hate comments against Islam have created a tense situation in Bhatkal town which falls under his Lok Sabha constituency.

On Tuesday miscreants owning allegiance to Sangh Parivar allegedly tried to disrupt peace when several Muslim organisations condemned MP's unconstitutional statement, and demanded action against him.

In a memorandum submitted to Uttara Kannada SP C Vamsi Krishna, Majlise-Islah Wa Tanzeem, Bhatkal, general secretary, Altaf Kharuri said Mr. Hegde's statement was malicious. It was aimed at creating a law and order problem, he said and urged the police to thoroughly investigate the matter.

At a press conference in Bhatkal on Tuesday, Mr Kharuri condemned Mr Hegde's statements against Islam and accused him of trying to target Muslims to safeguard his political base.

“Mr. Hegde's dreams of uprooting Islam from this world would never be realised,” he said adding that he would initiate all possible action against Mr. Hegde within the framework of the law, and appealed to the Muslim community not to heed to such statements.

The police have deployed nearly 400 personnel as a precautionary measure. No untoward incident has been reported, the police said.

Mr. Hegde had called for a press meet on the Hubballi-Ankola railway track-laying project on Sunday. While replying to a question on terrorism, he called to wipe out Islam from the world. He also called Bhatkal an epicentre of terrorism in India.

This RSS dog is trying to spread virus poison at Uttara Kannada surroundings. Hope peace loving Kannadiga's will kick him from power shortly.

All are well aware these are the special training from his dirty nagpur base.
But rss will never succeed fro any angle.

Alappuzha, Jan 4: The management committee of a mosque in Kerala is all set to solemnize the wedding of a Hindu couple, setting yet another instance of the communal harmony prevailing in Kerala.

The Cheravally Muslim Jamaat Committee at Kayamkulam in Alappuzha district in South Kerala is conducting the marriage of Anju and Sharath after the bride's mother approached the Jamaat authorities seeking help. 

The marriage will be held at the mosque premises on January 19 as per Hindu rituals and the Jamaat Committee has also prepared the invitations.

Anju's father Ashokan died a few years back and her mother Bindhu was struggling to win bread for her three children. Nujumudeen Alummoottil, a businessman and secretary of the Jamaat had helped the family earlier also.

Hence Bindu sought his help for the marriage of Anju. Nujumudeen discussed it with other members of the Jamaat committee and members of the mosque.

Najumudeen said that there was no hesitation from anyone on conducting the marriage by the mosque at its premises. A gift in cash and gold would be also given to the couple.

Kerala recently witnessed a church allowing the Muslim believers who participated in an anti-CAA meet to offer namaz at the church premises and another church conducting a carol service with the youth of the parish dressed up in traditional Muslim attire.

Kerala is unique in India for cordial relation between different religions.  However, this is not being digested by sanghis and are trying to build gulf between the communities.  I am sure that people will not let theese anti national succeed in their wicked behaviour.   This communal harmoney is a slap on the faces of enemies of society.    Well done keralites.  Salute to all of you.
