Mangaluru, Mar 18: Deputy Commissioner AB?Ibrahim, who is trying to douse the temple festival's invitation row fire, opined that that the controversy raised because of intolerance'.

abibrayakaStating that there is nothing wrong in printing a Muslim officer's name in the invitation card of a Muzrai temple's car festival, he said that as per the Hindu Endowment Act, non-Hindus should not take part in religious rituals. “But there is no specific rule regarding invitations. This has been conveyed to Puttur MLA Shakuntala Shetty and she too has been convinced,” he told media persons.

"We have been so intolerant that a non-issue is being blown out of proportion. I was special officer for the Dasara festival when I was in Mysuru and I was part of festivals in many Hindu temples as a government representative. No one asked me before printing my name on invitations. It is just much ado about nothing," Ibrahim said.

Recalling the communal harmony in the coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi, he said there was harmony between Hindus and Muslims, be it the adoration of Bappa Beary in Mulki temple or Ali Chamundi Kshetra in Kumble. He criticised those who are trying to disturb the harmony.

Ibrahim clarified that his name was printed because he is the deputy commissioner and also that his permission had not been taken before printing the same.

“Although I am pained and saddened over the developments regarding the issue, it is my duty to take everybody along,” he said and requested the members of the public to maintain peace and harmony in the district.

Bengaluru, Aug 8: Congress is confused on the Ram Mandir issue and in dilemma to take a firm stand fearing loss of Muslim or Hindu votes, according to BJP leader and Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi.

"Congress opposed BJP's stand on constructing Ram Mandir in Ayodya, it called Lord Ram fictional and even decided to break the Ramsetu. Now, Congressmen are speaking the other way. Congress cannot think beyond vote bank politics which is in its DNA itself. Congressmen think that they are born to be in power," he said while speaking to media persons. 

He said that BJP is all for constructing a grand Ram Mandir peacefully and legally, due to its conviction and not for politics. Same was the case with the revocation of Article 370 for Jammu & Kashmir. Anti-national activities have comparatively come down now. 

Some people do not want everything going smoothly in the country, and Congress and Asaduddin Owaisi are among them, Joshi opined, adding that the Congress is merely frustrated.
