Mangaluru, Jun 25: Muslims in parts of Dakshina Kannada district have plunged into confusion after Khazi of Ullal refused to announce the beginning of Shawwal and urged his followers to fast on Sunday and celebrate Eid al-Fitr on Monday.

1ullalThe bizarre development comes within hours after Dakshina Kannada district Khazi Thwaka Ahmed Musliyar formally declared the end of Ramadan after verifying the reports of moonsighting from Bhatkal in Uttara Kannada district.

Udupi Khazi Ibrahim Musliyar Bekal too has declared the end of Ramadan and announced that Sunday will be the first day of Shawwal in the region.

However, the unexpected decision of Ullal Khazi Fazal Koyamma Thangal Koorath to complete the 30th fasting of Ramadan has brought the divide among Muslims in the region to the fore.

Fasting on Eid day and celebrating Eid before the end of Ramadan are considered a sin in Islam. Hence, thousands of Muslims in the region are in dilemma. Taravih prayers were also reportedly held in Ullal Juma Masjid at midnight in spite of opposition from a section of clerics.

Meanwhile, many clerics are reportedly trying to convince the Ullal Khazi to change his decision and announce the beginning of Shawwal. More details are awaited.

Sad development. But the saddest thing is the ongoing grave worship in the same place. May Allah grant them Hidayah.

@ Umar Farooq,

Sad thing is that still you are not matured enough to understand what
is grave worshiping ? May Allah grant you good mind to understand the difference between worshiping & respecting.

Extradited these useless thangas, they are there to devide muslims for their ego class...moon sighting in bhatkal is more than enough to end the month and celebrate the Eid. I think no need many khazis to Mangalore, they are spoil brat of Muslims especially in Mangalore becuase their EGO clash will not work in Kerala.

Udupi, Feb 23: Karnataka's minister for Tourism and Culture CT Ravi on Sunday said that India is losing money as because people travel abroad to visit casinos.

Arguing that casinos are being used by countries to promote tourism, he took to Twitter to highlight the issue, saying, "During my interaction with FKCCI, I had mentioned that many countries have promoted Tourism through Casinos. Isn't it a fact that lakhs of Indians go abroad to play in Casinos? Can anyone stop them? At the moment, there is no proposal before Our Govt to set up Casinos here,' he tweeted in the morning.

He also urged the Central government to stop people from visiting abroad.

Yesterday, the minister had stated that he has no intention of developing "casino tourism" in the state.

"I only expressed my opinion on how other countries have promoted tourism, during a discussion. Casino tourism is one such thing, I have no intention of developing it here," Ravi had told media when asked to comment on Karnataka government's proposal of casinos in Coastal Karnataka.

"What I meant was many Indians go and spend there, our money should be spent here itself," he had said.

Mumbai, Jun 14: Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput committed suicide on Sunday, leaving all his fans and the industry in shock. While the reason behind him taking up the extreme step is still not clear, a look into Sushant’s social media feed suggests that things were not well for him for quite some time.

Sushant had been inactive on Twitter since months. His last tweet was on December 27, 2019. Since then, he did not even reply to any one on Twitter. Same is the case with his Facebook account as the last post on his timeline was on the same date. Interestingly, Sushant's Twitter cover picture is the popular painting - 'Starry Night', by Van Gogh, who had also reportedly committed suicide in 1890.

On Instagram, the young actor had last posted on June 3. It was a collage picture of him and his mother along with a cryptic caption that read, “Blurred past evaporating from teardrops Unending dreams carving an arc of smile And a fleeting life, negotiating between the two...#माँ”.

Was Sushant’s inactivity on Twitter, Facebook and his last cryptic post on Instagram a signal that the actor was having a tough time? Well, may be it will remain a mystery forever.
