Addressing media persons in the city on Thursday, Committee president K S Mohammed Masood said that all the Muslim organisations in coastal Karnataka endorse All India Muslim Personal Law Board's decision to reject Law Commission's questionnaire on the possibility of a UCC.

He said that under the pretext of giving justice to Muslim women by ending controversial triple talaq, Prime Minister Narendra Modi led NDA government trying to interfere in Muslim personal law and make changes in Islamic Shariah.

Mr Masood said that if there were “flaws” in the personal laws governing Muslims, the scholars and religious heads of the community are capable of addressing them from time-to-time. “There is a long procedure for three talaqs in Islam. If anyone violates the rules of talaq and ignores rights of woman, the victims can approach local Ulema or Khazi who will solve the problem,” he said.

He said that his committee will join the nationwide signature campaign launched by the Personal Law Board against the UCC. He urged all Muslims in the twin districts to strive to make the campaign success. Signatures of men and women from the community will be sent to Personal Law Board through All India Milli Council, he added.

“People of different cultures live in this country. If the UCC is implemented, attempts will be made to paint all in one colour, which is not in the interest of the country. There are more divorces in other communities. Rather the highest rate, which is double that of Muslims, is among Hindus," said a cleric.

Terming UCC a pure political stunt, Uniwef president Rafeeuddin Kudroli said that in order to conceal its failure and diver the attention of people from core issues, the anti-people government is raking up such issues. Representatives of various Muslim organisations and associations were present at the press meet.

Dear Ahmed

Learn the beauty of islam and its sharia law before commenting on islam. I think you are a name sake Muslim.

I read all negative comments id another news portal. Wo... where are comments are from non-muslims who do not know sharia law and just want to comment for the heck of it and put muslims in bad face by not writing the full facts as Mr. Masood mentioned that the girls can approach the kazi or ulemas. 95% of the comments are from non-muslims who should not interfere in our religion rights and try to amend theirs.

Ahmed, finally a sane voice from Muslim side ref UCC

I strongly feel ucc is the need of the hour. We are not supporters of bjp but somewhere we feel it is must .I met many Indians including Christians and Sikhs. Absolutely no opposition from their side .if we want our own laws then better to migrate for sharia backed country. If we have firm faith in sharia then even in criminal laws we must ask sharia laws .where as we want secular and general laws.we Muslims have lot of priorities. . concentrate on education ,quality employement and we must encourage young entrepreneurs ,we should bring down illiteracy rates ...our gals and boys must enter civil services in large no and our people must be in isro as scientists .. Dream in that way guys. Let us respect women feeling ....I can challenge non of the above are 100% true Muslims.... We Muslims must join mainstream .if not days are really going to be tough in India .whether we accept it or not RSS power quadrappled in past few years and pm has firm grip .we must accept the fact that bjp simply don't care for our votes. When we deal with bjp we cannot behave like the way we dealt with congress .we were vote bank for congress.they listen to us .we must also take a note on diminishing power of congress ....let us respect the rule of land. Jai hind ...proud Muslim from surathkal

The person who is not respecting his own wife (Modi) is talking about women's protection, what a shit....these are all hidden agenda of panties....so called chaddies....now panties...

Rightly said it is need of the hour.

‘No pvt hospital in Karnataka can turn away patients irrespective of covid status’

News Network

August 6,2020

Bengaluru, Aug 6: No private hospital in Karnataka can turn away a patient without attending to him or her, irrespective of the Coronavirus status, an official has said.

"Private medical establishments shall not deny treatment and admission to any patient approaching the establishment irrespective of the fact that such patient may or may not be suffering from Covid-19," an official from the state Health and Family Welfare Department said on Wednesday.

Likewise, no private hospital can insist on a patient for a Covid-19 test report, said the official invoking the Disaster Management Act.

"The establishments also cannot insist for Covid test report," he said, directing all private hospitals to strictly abide by their responsibilities.

According to the department, it is the duty of every private hospital to provide first aid and take lifesaving steps when any patient approaches it.

"It is the duty of every private medical establishment to provide first aid and take lifesaving measures to stabilise the patient," he said.

The department also invoked statutes from Karnataka Medical Establishments Act 2017, under sections 11 and 11 (A) to drive home the message.

The directives assume significance at a time when several cases of private hospitals denying admissions and fleecing patients across the state have emerged.

"It has been noticed that some of the private hospitals are refusing treatment and admission to emergency patients, causing distress and this has resulted in complications, leading to death in certain cases," said the official.

The district authorities have been directed to take action on the erring hospitals as the department reiterated the responsibilities of private medical establishments.

Mangaluru: The first-of-its kind Beach Zumba event organized by Veekshitha Arasa on January 26th at Panambur Beach, Mangaluru attracted huge crowd and entertained the masses. Thousands of people who visited the beach last Sunday evening witnessed and danced along with the talented Zumba instructors from Bengaluru and Mangaluru. The show lasted for almost two hours.

The programme was organized by Veekshitha Arasa in association with Panambur Beach Tourism with the cooperation of Panambur Police and sponsorship of AJ Hospital & Research Centre, APD Foundation and SS Arrangers & Caterers.

Panambur Beach Tourism CEO Yatish Baikampady, APD Foundation Trustee Abdullah Rehman and Santhosh Kumar from SS Arrangers and others flagged off the event by releasing saffron, white and green balloons (the colours of Indian tricolor) to mark the nation’s Republic Day. Panambur beach police officials too participated in the inauguration. Veekshitha Arasa’s husband Rohan Lobo, Veekshitha’s parents Bhaskar Arasa and Geetha B Arasa too joined in.

This was done with the message ‘Let the love for health and fitness fly high among the citizens much like the soaring spirit of patriotism’. Speaking on the occasion, Veekshitha said that it was her dream to conduct a Zumba event in the city. “This is my small attempt at promoting fitness among the citizens of Mangaluru. There should be more such events,” she said.

Meenal Dubey, Ashwitha Shetty, Vishal Rai, Aishwarya, Namratha Shekar, Shruthi Keerthiraj, Vinayak Acharya, Kavitha Manish and Urmi were some of the enthusiastic Zumba instructors who performed with Veekshitha.

RJ Nayana and Saravanan Govindaswamy compered the event.
