With a Brahminical touch, this Karnataka Dargah attracts Hindus in large numbers

Setting an example of religious harmony, people belonging to both Hindu and Muslim community pay obeisance at the Dargah of Harzat Shah Ruknuddin Tola in the Kalaburgi district of Karnataka. The doors of the shrine are apparently "open for all."

The shrine is dedicated to a 14th century Muslim saint, who spent around 40 years praying on the hillock, on the top of which the shrine is constructed, said a local, named Mohammad Hussaini.

Right next to this Dargah is the shrine of Shah Qadri, who was originally a Hindu, named Rama Rao. Qadri was a disciple of Hazrat Ruknuddin Tola and known for his spiritual accomplishments.

"It's only because of this Brahmin that Hazrat Ruknuddin decided to give up non-vegetarian food. After his death, nobody was allowed to visit his shrine after consuming non-vegetarian food," said Hussaini.

Another local, named Musib Ahmed said, "Both Hindu and Muslim come here to pay respects to the Dargah and seek blessings. The doors of this Dargah are open to all. There are no restrictions on one particular religion."

I fear that after some time sangh parivar will claim this Dargah to be built after destroying a temple.   People claim that they visit this place to get blessings of the dead person.   How come he can bless when he cannot avoid death.   Is he still alive in the grave and listens to people plea.  Then it is great.  In this case a banner should be hanged there writing "never born, never died'.

New Delhi, Jan 19: Senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal on Sunday asserted that every state assembly has the constitutional right to pass a resolution and seek the amended Citizenship Act's withdrawal, but if the law is declared constitutional by the Supreme Court then it will be problematic to oppose it.

His remarks came a day after he had said there is no way a state can deny the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) when it is already passed by the Parliament.

"I believe the CAA is unconstitutional. Every State Assembly has the constitutional right to pass a resolution and seek its withdrawal. When and if the law is declared to be constitutional by the Supreme Court then it will be problematic to oppose it. The fight must go on!" Sibal said in a tweet.

His remarks on the CAA at the Kerala Literature Festival (KLF) on Saturday had caused a flutter as several non-BJP governments, including Kerala, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal and Maharashtra, have voiced their disagreement with the CAA as well as National Register of Citizens (NRC) and National Population Register (NPR).

"If the CAA is passed no state can say 'I will not implement it'. It is not possible and is unconstitutional. You can oppose it, you can pass a resolution in the Assembly and ask the central government to withdraw it.

"But constitutionally saying that I won't implement, it is going to be problematic and going to create more difficulties," said the former minister of law and justice.
