Dear muslim brothers

Naresh and yogiesh are one who are playing devide the muslim game in this portal and we muslims are still fighting who is right and wrong.Lahi laha illallah muhammadur Rasoolallah.follow this and there will be no fights.regarding naresh every one in this world know who is worshiping the creator and who is worshiping the creations.

mr. well wisher, do you know the difference between worship and respect? i think you wahhabi people dont know what is the term worship? here these people is believe in Allah as a creater and the worship is only belongs to him , then how could they worship on tomb, your blind and stupid yahoodi-wahhabi mind doesnt make any sence. first learn history, and try knowing actual islam and sufism. may allah grant you a hidaya.

Dear Mr. Naresh & Mr. Yogesh, well said. Islam never promotes worshipping the creation, but the creator. They don't even know the "Baalapaata" of Islam. May Allah (SWT) guide them to the right path. I feel pity for them. I think Govt. should take the necessary step to curb such non-sense celebrations. Mere wastage of money. It could be used in the development of the city instead.

Forget haters.. Hats off. Great culturural gathering

Fake followers. These gathered people are worshiping the creation not creator. They are worshiping a thing/physical object/material. shame

You do believe in darga's..! These people are not real muslims

Need a law to shoot at sight those raising anti-India slogans: B C Patil

News Network

March 2,2020

Bengaluru, Mar 2: Karnataka Minister BC Patil on Monday repeated his earlier statements that he will approach the Centre to bring a law to "shoot at sight" anyone who raises anti-India slogans.

"I am not going back on my statement as I have not said anything wrong. I had said that I will ask the central government to bring a law to shoot at sight those who shout slogans against India. Nowadays it has become a fashion for some youths to get popularity this way which spoils the country and patriotism," Patil told reporters here.

"There is nothing wrong in asking for a law. I have not said that I will myself shoot someone who shouts slogans against India. If the same thing happens in Pakistan, they will be beheaded. But we are not so brutal, we book a case and send them to judicial custody," he added.

Patil also said that there was no need for holding discussions over the amended Citizenship Act, but added that the ruling BJP will defend it if the opposition raises a stir in the state Assembly.

The budget session of the Karnataka Assembly began on Monday.
