Mangaluru, Nov 22: Thousands of Muslims from different parts of undivided Dakshina Kannada district on Tuesday gathered at Nehru Maidan in the heart of Mangaluru city pledging to uphold Muslim Personal Law and to unitedly oppose the Prime Minister Narendra Modi led-Union Government's attempt to interfere in Islamic Shariah.

All the speakers at theShariah Protection Conference' organised by the Muslim Central Committee of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi exhorted the Muslim community to resist any move to amend India's Muslim Personal Law that is based on the tenets of Shariah.

Inaugurating the conference, B K Abdul Khader Musliyar Khasimi, chief of Bambrana Juma Masjid, said Islamic Shariah is timeless and nobody would be allowed to dabble in its basic tenets.

“Islamic Shariah is built on the edifice of the Holy Qur'an, Prophet's Sunnah and the perception and perspectives commonly shared by scholars all over the world. It is the decree of Allah, the Almighty. No government or system can change or alter it. It is unalterable, perennial and fit to survive all the time and it will withstand the challenges of all ages,” he said.

"Muslim community has opposed strongly when the idea of Uniform Civil Code was mooted 30 years ago. It is anti-Islamic and impractical in India, where people with various faiths and religions co-exist. Moreover, it will escalate problems in the country," he said.

"It is an irony that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is keen on protection of rights of Muslim women, but he has failed to protect his wife. Quran gave equal rights to women in their ancestral property. It is unacceptable to agree the decisions taken by those who do not have knowledge on Islam, Quran and Sharia Law. We have clergies to discuss about Sharia Law and talaq. Let the government concentrate on administration," Khasimi said.

"Talaq is explained very clearly in Sharia Law. It is not uttered on a single day. There are several steps to be followed before triple talaq is completed. There are opportunities for couple to reunite even after first and second talaq. Divorce as per triple talaq becomes valid only when all the steps fail to reunite the couple," he explained.

Muhammed Kunhi, a representative of Jamat-e-Islami Hind said debate on triple talaq and uniform civil code is irrelevant when the nation has several other major issues to be sorted out. He pointed out that Ram Jethmalani, who was the law minister in Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, had rejected Uniform Civil Code as non-practical move.

"Conduct a survey to ascertain the actual number of Muslim women who suffered due to triple talaq. In fact talaq is a blessing when divorce becomes necessary for couple," he added.

“The situation is such that fascist- minded people are out to dictate terms on trivial issues apart from interfering in the administration, arts and literature in the country. The attempts to strengthen multicultural society are being construed as an offence,” he said. Kunhi also called it as the nefarious intention of members of the Sangh Parivar, who are enforcing their political agenda.

Abdul Azeez Darimi from Karnataka Samastha Mushavara, said Muslims are united to protect Sharia Law in India. "Sharia Law is not against the Indian Constitution. Neither Parliament nor courts have the right to deny the fundamental rights under Indian Constitution. Hence, it is not possible for the government to introduce Uniform Civil Code in India, where over 6,000 castes and sub-castes exist. Sharia Law is not against non-Muslims," he added.

Muslim Central Committee president K S Mohammed Masood presided.

REMINDER OF THE DAY
When the foolish one speaks, do not reply to him, for better than a response (to him) is silence, and if you speak to him you have aided him, and if you left him (with no reply) in extreme sadness he dies.
- Imam Ash-Shaafi'ee (ra)
\And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily, and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say [words of] peace\"
{Surah Al Furqan 25: Verse 63}"

Letter to Naren

Dear Brother Naren Kotian,

You have been commenting on this website for so many years now. Apart from a few readers responding to you, have you seen this make any change in beliefs that millions firmly follow? Ever wondered why?

Let me tell you why. You see Brother Naren , you aren't born without a reason. There is a reason why you are created. You are nothing but a 'number of days' . As each day passes , you approach something that no body could deny ie \DEATH\". All rich/poor/powerful/rulers everyone is dead now. Of which some names we know and billions we don't.
Listen to me carefully now. This could be a turning point for you and rethink your own opinions.

The Creator whom you call Brahma, Has created you to worship Him. He will call you back on the Judgement Day. He will hold you accountable for all your good deeds/bad deeds. He will ask you if you have fulfilled the duties He commanded you to do. He will then reward you with Paradise for you can live eternally/ punish you in Fire.

If this message looks strange, please read all religious Scriptures. Every religious Scripture has these things in common:
1. One God 2. Life is to Worship Him Alone 3. Judgement Day.
As a well wisher , I would wish that Brahma whom Muslims call Allah (Arabic), give you guidance and grant you Paradise.
Please don't hesitate to buy the Last Book from Brahma ie the Quran. It is available in Kannada translation in Mangalore. Have a great day Brother Naren."

Excellent gathering. Nice to see all the ulemas and leaders of different groups who have come under one platform to oppose the interference of the government. This is highly laudable of the Muslim Central committee President along with all the office bearers and members who worked relentlessly to get everyone on board. A gathering of 50000 people is hugely commendable and hope we Muslim brothers will always gather to oppose any decision which is against our Sharia and also unite against terrorism and come together to help our brother and sisters in distress. India is our country and no one can tell us to leave our country as we will not and shall unite always as we have shown yesterday. I had sometime back read in an article what was the Central committee doing etc etc. This is a very big achievement by them Kudos to them and I hope we all unite and be united.

If you go back the history In 1974 Congress did the Nasbandi and Turkman gate scandal particularly control the Muslim population ended up with Emergency and thrown the Regime of Congress out of power and again it tried in 1985 Shah Banu case and failed keep the power at Center and now the Shang Pariwar ( BJP+) back again with same old agenda with new theory to demolish Muslim personal Law but these major political power house forget that once it touched the issue of Muslims either Sharia law or Babri Masjid the result is ended up with Musilm Unity. So the time is back again to show the unity .. Jai Hind Jai Muslim

For many Indian tycoons, 2019 turned woeful as lenders -- empowered by the nation’s recent bankruptcy law and desperate to clean up soured debt from their books -- started seizing assets of delinquent firms or dragged them into insolvency.

Indian banks wrote off a record $39 billion of loans in the 18 months through September in a bid to repair their balance sheets as they battled the world’s worst bad debt pile. Making matters worse, a shadow banking crisis led to a funding squeeze, crushing debt-laden businesses that were critically dependent on rollover financing.

“Life has come a full circle for tycoons that had enjoyed debt-fueled growth,” said Nirmal Gangwal, founder of distress and debt restructuring advisory firm Brescon & Allied Partners LLP. “Many firms collapsed like a house of cards. The downfall was rather unprecedented.”
The government has also been cracking down on economic crime to assuage public anger over absconding businessmen. It’s even barred some from traveling overseas if they were deemed a flight risk.

Here are some of the country’s biggest and most-storied businessmen who saw their fortunes fade. Spokespersons for none of these tycoons, except Essar, immediately replied to emails and text messages seeking comments.

Anil Ambani

The chairman of Reliance Group, which makes movies to metro lines, had a close shave with jail time in March before his elder brother and Asia’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, bailed him out at the last minute. The woes of the ex-billionaire came to the fore when India’s top court asked him to pay Ericsson AB’s India unit about $77 million of past dues or go to jail since Anil Ambani, 60, had given a personal guarantee. His telecom carrier slipped into insolvency this year, while unprofitable Reliance Naval & Engineering Ltd. faced a cash crunch. Reliance Capital Ltd. is selling assets to pare debt. Ambani is also fending off Chinese lenders in a London court.

Malvinder & Shivinder Singh

Karma caught up with ex-billionaires and brothers Malvinder Singh, 47, and Shivinder Singh, 44, and how. Scions of a prominent business family, they once helmed India’s top drug maker and second-largest hospital chain. In October, the two were arrested on charges of fraudulently diverting nearly $337 million from a lender they controlled. India’s market regulator found in 2018 that the brothers had defrauded their hospital company of about $56 million. The collapse of the $2 billion empire turned brother against brother, prompting their mother to broker a peace deal that was short-lived. In February, Malvinder accused Shivinder and their spiritual guru of fraud.

Shashikant & Ravikant Ruia

After a hard-fought battle to keep their flagship steel mill, the first-generation entrepreneurs finally saw the bankrupt Essar Steel India Ltd. pass on to ArcelorMittal last month. The $5.9 billion takeover was almost two years in the making with multiple legal wrangles. The group, controlled by Shashikant Ruia, 76, and Ravikant Ruia, 70, were also reprimanded by a U.K. judge in March this year for concealing documents. Started in 1969 as a construction firm, Essar Group diversified, investing about $18 billion between 2008 and 2012, and piled on debt. In 2017, the group had sold another prized asset, Essar Oil.

Selling an asset to pare a liability shouldn’t be seen as a “lost asset,” an Essar spokesman said, adding that the group remains a diversified conglomerate.

VG Siddhartha

Before jumping off a bridge into a river in July in an apparent suicide, the founder of India’s biggest coffee chain Cafe Coffee Day had penned a letter that spoke of pressure from lenders, a private equity firm and harassment by tax officials. He had spent much of the last two years pledging ever more of Coffee Day Enterprises Ltd. shares to refinance loans for ever shorter periods, at ever higher interest rates. “I would like to say I gave it my all,” V.G. Siddhartha, 60, wrote in the letter. “I fought for a long time but today I gave up.”

Naresh Goyal

The former ticketing agent who built India’s largest airline by value, stepped down as chairman of Jet Airways India Ltd. in March, caving in to pressure from banks who took over the company. Cut-throat price wars and surging costs pushed Jet deeper into loss. The airline stopped flying in April and went into bankruptcy two months later as lenders failed to find a buyer. In July, an Indian court barred Naresh Goyal from flying overseas after the government said it was investigating an alleged $2.6 billion fraud involving Jet Airways.

Rana Kapoor

The founder of Yes Bank Ltd., which became India’s fourth-largest non-state lender, tweeted in September 2018 that his shares were invaluable and requested his children never to sell them upon inheritance. But trouble was brewing. The nation’s banking regulator, which found the lender had repeatedly under-reported its bad loans, refused to extend his tenure as chief executive officer. This forced Rana Kapoor, 62, to step down by end-January. Kapoor, who has pledged some of his Yes Bank shares in July, sold almost his entire stake in the lender by October.

Subhash Chandra

The rice trader-turned-media mogul, 69, who brought cable television into Indian homes in the early 1990s with his ZEE TV, resigned as chairman of Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd. in November and lost control of his crown jewel. Subhash Chandra has been selling stake in Zee Entertainment in the past few months to repay group’s debt.

Gautam Thapar

A default by Gautam Thapar, founder of the paper mill-to-power transmission Avantha Group, on pledged shares made Yes Bank Ltd. the biggest shareholder in CG Power and Industrial Solutions Ltd. In August, the firm was hit by an accounting scandal forcing the board to remove Thapar, 59, from the chairman’s post. A month later, the market regulator ordered a forensic audit of the firm and barred Thapar from accessing securities market.
