New Delhi, Jul 3: In what could be seen as a desperate attempt by the Sangh Parivar to shed its anti-Muslim' image, Muslim Rashtriya Manch (MRM) on Saturday organised an international Iftar' party at the Parliament House Annexe, which was attended by people from different walks of life. MRM is the Muslim wing of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.

Although ambassadors from 140 countries were invited for the Iftar' party, the High Commissioner of Pakistan was not invited for the event due to the recent Pampore attack in Jammu and Kashmir.

Altogether ambassadors from nine countries participated in the Iftar party with several academicians, including Jamia University's Vice-Chancellor Prof Talat Ahmad, Delhi University's Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Tyagi and Aligarh Muslim University's Vice-Chancellor Zameer Uddin Shah.

According to MRM chief Mohammad Afzal, they had organised the party to convey a message to the world that India is a country where there is unity in diversity and people from all religions live under single roof and follow their respective faiths. He, however, clarified that it was their own initiative and that the RSS had nothing to do with it.

Warning to Pakistan

Speaking at the Iftar meet, RSS Pracharak Indresh Kumar, who is also the chief patron of MRM, asked Pakistan to stop interfering in India's affairs and instead tackle growing separatism within its boundaries

Kumar warned that Pakistan will be “disintegrate into seven pieces” unless it changes its behaviour. He said several separatist groups mushrooming in Pakistan are threatening the country's existence. “We have conveyed (this) message to Pakistan on several occasions,” he said.

Kumar also criticised AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi for his opposition to the “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” slogan. “A true Muslim,” he said, “will do Haj, but will also say Hindustan Zindabad,” and urged members of the community to be “true” Muslims instead of being “fanatic”.

Union ministers Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, Shahnawaz Hussain, BJP spokesperson M J Akbar, several RSS functionaries, and the vice-chancellors of of AMU and Jamia Millia Islamia were among those in attendance.

The Iftar had become controversial after the MRM cancelled invitation to Pakistan High Commissioner Abdul Basit over his casual remarks after the terror attack in Pampore on June 25, that killed eight CRPF personnel.

\True Muslim will do Hajj and will say Hindustan Zindabad\" its pre qualification for newly established religion Sufism..! Founder of this religion is terrorist who is a mastermind for Samjotha express blast and Malegao blast. Some useless fools around him are trying to destroy Islam.
May our one of famous Leader who always travel and trend in social media will adopt this for his journey. Also he attend Sufi convention.
Modi and RSS know better and only Sufism (Shiaism) can divide Indian Muslims into two sects as Shia and Sunni which is undivided till now. Then divide and rule as Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Pakistan, Bahrain etc etc"

Bengaluru, Feb 5: Despite installing a BJP government in Karnataka through disguised operation Kamala, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led union government has continued its step motherly attitude towards this south Indian state.

Under the new formula adopted to share central taxes among states Karnataka will be the worst-affected. Though the 15th Finance Commission has recommended a special grant of Rs 5,495 crore for the state for 2020-21, the Centre appears reluctant to pay up and instead has asked for the proposal to be reviewed.

During the Union budget, the report of the 14th Finance Commission headed by NK Singh for 2020-21 was tabled in Lok Sabha. It shows besides Karnataka, Telangana, Mizoram and Kerala saw their central tax share decrease, while Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Maharashtra were top gainers.

Karnataka's share has decreased from 4.7% provided by the previous finance commission, to 3.6%. Acknowledging there is a steep decline in Karnataka's share from 2019-20, the finance commission has recommended a special grant of Rs 5,495 crore for the state.

Its share in 2019-20 was Rs 36,675 crore, but under the new formula, Karnataka will get only Rs 31,180 crore in 2020-21 from the divisible pool of Rs 8.5 lakh crore - a decline of 22.5%.

Also, the decrease for Karnataka comes on the back of a shortfall in 2019-20. While the state was entitled to Rs 39,806 crore from the divisible pool, it got only Rs 36,675 crore as the Centre suffered a tax revenue shortfall of Rs 1.5 lakh crore.

What is more disheartening though is the Centre's refusal to pay the special grant. Instead, the Union finance ministry has asked the finance commission to reconsider the recommendation. This has prompted the state to take up the issue with the Centre.

"The decline in central taxes devolution comes at a time when the state is going through a tough financial situation. Steps are being taken to ensure Karnataka gets justice," said chief secretary TM Vijay Bhaskar.

Officials said besides corrective measures for 2020-21, the focus will be on ensuring a fair share in subsequent years. However, Karnataka has little chance of getting its dues as the Centre is known to be prudent when distributing tax proceeds among states.

"The Centre has certain views on devolution. We have done our duty by submitting the interim report. It's up to the states to convince the Centre," said Ravi Kota, joint secretary of 15th Finance Commission.

Under the new formula, the commission changed the weightage for some of the six criteria it considers - population, area, forest cover, income distance, demographic performance and tax effort.
