Addressing the hundreds of agitators, who had gathered in front of the office of deputy commissioner in the heart of the city, most of the speakers called the tirade against Dr Naik and other Muslim leaders and movements as an attempt to strip the minority community of its democratic rights by silencing its leaders.

One of the main speakers, Shafi Bellare, Secretary, Karnataka state unit of PFI, accused the central government for deliberately defaming Dr Naik as an attempt to prevent him from spreading the message of peace.

“By this, the government is also trying to intimidate other Islamic religious leaders and scholars,” he said.

Calling Dr Naik a peace loving person, who is respected by the peace lovers of all the communities and religions, the PFI leader lamented that the government and media seized the opportunity seized the opportunity provided by the militant attacks in Bangladesh to falsely project Mumbai-based orator as a person promoting terrorism.

He also accused media and hate-mongers of spreading doctors and edited videos of Dr Naik to create a negative opinion about him among the innocent people.

Haji Abdul Hameed Kandak, Vice President of Muslim Central Committee, demanded that the central government should immediately stop the smear campaign targeted against Dr Naik and warned of intensifying the agitation otherwise.

Muhammad Kunhi from Jama'at-e-Islami Hind, Isamaeel Shafi from South Karnataka Salafi Movement, Haji Abdul Latheef from Jameeathul Falah, Rafeeuddin Kudroli from Uniwef, Haneef Khan Kodaje from SDPI, former Mangaluru Mayor K Ashraf from Muslim Sanghatanegala Okkoota, Mustafa Kempi from Muslim Aikyata Vedike, Azeez Kundroli from Muslim Central Committee, Rafeeq Master from Talent Research Foundation, Umar UH from Muslim Lekhakara Sangha, Jafar Sadiq Faizi from All India Imam's Council, Zakariya Jokatte from Hidaya Foundation were among the guests.

It is good to note that the people have taken a stand aginst such high handedness.
The media and government should have solid proof before maligning any individual.

AP and his team is busy to enroll his name in next year padma awards for his service to damage muslim community. They are sunni(?) than how to attend protest from Muslim community.

The world laughs at you Jockers.. Zakir Naik and his followers have intelligence bankruptcy, they have no brains for critical thinking just follow the Idiot like herd of sheep. His arguments have very shallow thinking, he can't even debate with people like Tarek Fatah or Taslima Nasreen. Loser..

As u said ur familiar with some face coz they have many cases.. so that means even u were with them wen they had case? haha dude while commenting check wthr it will get back to u..

Masha Allah.

AP Musliyar is silent because he will get the BJP funds in Kerala to devide votes.

AP is busy in collecting fund from dargha, Faathiya, Maulood, AP Maala, protesting against Zakir Bhai and blowjob with RSS people.

Mr.A Mangalore, KSA

If AP is keralie then your fake doctor is i guess not from mangalore ...Then y u peoples are protesting?....hahahah

You will not find any terorist who loves darga (if you check histrory of all muslim terorist)...because they are peace lovers

Friday right ...haha ...this is biryani rally ...look at the faces ....almost all beef and mutton stall owners and staff...haha...not even one educated face ...in that group ..i can see few familiar faces with many police cases on them ...loser ....

It is better not to discuss about Mr. A.P. Aboobaker. He is a Keralite and we don't want any kerala sick spreading in our Mangalore. Let him and his supporters enjoy dargah business.

AP Is not With Naik becaues Naki promotes wahabism islam which cannot be implemented in india...In India islam is spread through sufism ( But some people not accepting because they converted to islam after watching zaik naik speech)

Why naik is not debating with islamic scholor?..many islamic scholor invited him for debate but he is giving many excuse..if he debate then he is afraid truth will come out

What happened to Ap musliyar. Is he a non muslim. Tell something.

He only knows to make money and travel in luxury cars.

Banner reads: Breaking Peace to create Breaking News

Zakir Naik said : Terrorist is a person who terrorizes, He gave example as, A ROBBER sees a POLICEMEN , He is terrified.
For a Robber, Policemen is a Terrorist.
Inspector ANDRE is a TERRORIST for the UNDERWORLD.
Similarly HE SAID in his speech
FOR a robber, Policemen is terrorist. IN THIS CONTEXT
EVERY MUSLIM should be a terrorist to the ANTI SOCIAL Elements.
EVERY MUSLIM should be a terrorist to the ANTI SOCIAL Elements.
EVERY MUSLIM should be a terrorist to the ANTI SOCIAL Elements.

Whenever a Robber, a Rapist or a CRIMINAL sees a MUSLIM, He should be terrified.
Commonly the word terrorist means \A person who Terrorizes an innocent being\"
In this CONTEXT : No MUSLIM should ever be a TERRORIST....

NOW VIEW : TIMES NOW with ARNAB DECEPTION, Where U R are FOOLED for not VERIFYING the whole CONTEXT of what ZAKIR NAIK says.... Intelligent people understands and God loves them cos of their honesty. Arrogant unintelligent people never understand even if they are in suits and ties.... they love to please the devils with their LIES."

Well done..........this is the beginning of Reunity of the Ummah against Anti constitution acts of any elements

Alhamdulillah by the grace of Almighty my dear muslim now we got lesson pls pls forever we all get together and fight for our right .Insha AllaH five finger together strength will more and more....we must stand in one single platform nobody can touch Muslim .......

I don't see any terror coloured bands or flags...... see the peacefully rally for the man of peace......I love zakir Naik because he stands for peace and opposes terrorism

Masha ALLAH good gathering, may ALLAH strengthen the unity of us.

Masha Allah! Peaceful protest by a Big crowd and a Powerful message of peace by community leaders denouncing the media terrorism and vilification.

Statue row: Archbishop of Bengaluru meets BS Yediyurappa

News Network

January 6,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 6: A delegation of Christians, led by Peter Machado, archbishop of Bengaluru, met chief minister BS Yediyurappa on Sunday and sought an amicable solution to the issue of installing a statue of Jesus Christ atop Kapalibetta in Harobele village, Kanakapura taluk.

Yediyurappa is learnt to have assured the delegation of doing the needful and said he would take a decision after the revenue department submits its report. The department is looking into various aspects of the issue, including the sanction of 10 acres of land for the purpose.

“The meeting was cordial and the chief minister lent us a patient hearing. Our only request was to settle the issue in a way that is acceptable to all sections of society,” Machado said. Congress functionary and Kanakapura legislator DK Shivakumar had laid the foundation stone for the 114-foot statue of Christ on Kapalibetta on Christmas Day at an event organised by the Harobele Kapalibetta Development Trust, which plans to install the statue.

The issue took a political hue when BJP functionaries objected, saying the land sanctioned to the trust is part of gomala (reserved for cattle grazing) land and any religious activity there would be illegal. Revenue minister R Ashoka sought a report and department officials said they would submit it in a week’s time.

Mangaluru | Covid safety norms flouted during new Gurupura bridge inauguration

coastaldigest.com news network

June 12,2020

Mangaluru, Jun 12: A huge crowd gathered for the grand opening of the newly built 175-metre-long two-lane bridge across Phalguni River on National Highway 169 near Gurupura on the outskirts of the city today.

Even as the photos of the bridge inauguration ceremony went viral on social media, netizens took the elected representatives and the district administration to task for flouting safety norms at a time when the coronavirus cases are continuing to mount in coastal Karnataka.

The bridge was completed in a record time of 15 months. Dakshina Kannada MP and State BJP President Nalin Kumar Kateel and district in-charge Minister Kota Srinivas Poojari inaugurated the bridge in the presence of Mangaluru City North MLA Y. Bharath Shetty and others.

The bridge has come as a breather to thousands of travellers between Mangaluru-Moodbidri-Karkala on the busy NH. The age-old steel bridge had become dilapidated and was a cause for concern for road users. The highway is also under the process of getting widened to four lanes.

The bridge was constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 30 crore by contractor Sudhakar Shetty of Mugrodi Construction. Work started in February last and the contractor had time till February next.

While the two-lane carriageway is 16 metres wide, the bridge has 2.5-metre-wide pedestrian paths on both the sides. New approach roads of 500 metres each were also part of the project.

In another image the bus is stationed at a tourist spot. All these photos were captured during the bus’ maiden international journey in 1957.

An image of the bus ticket is also making rounds on social media, that shows the route of the bus — London, Belgium, West Germany, Austria,Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, West Pakistan, India. The route in India followed Delhi, Agra, Allahabad, Banaras and finally Calcutta.

The ticket shows that a one side travel cost 145 pounds (13,644 Rupees at the present day) back then, and it was inclusive of all the luxury provided during the run.

The luxurious bus provided the facilities of reading, individual sleeping bunks, radio/taped music for parties and pleasure and fan heaters, among other things. The brochure reads, "Your complete home while you travel."

Some of the tour highlights included Banaras on the Ganges, The Taj Mahal, The Raj Path, The Rhine Valley and The Peacock Throne. Passengers reportedly got free shopping days in New Delhi, Tehran, Salzburg, Kabul, Istanbul and Vienna.
