HDK again offers support to BJP after bypolls, but BSY dismisses idea

Bengaluru, Nov 26: JD(S) leader and former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy reiterated that he will extend support to chief minister BS Yediyurappa if the BJP fails to secure the minimum six seats it requires to stay in power in the December 5 byelections to 15 seats. Yediyurappa, however, rejected the offer and pitched instead for “Congress-JD(S)- mukt Karnataka”.

“There is no question of midterm elections as the JD(S) is willing to support the BJP government to avoid imposition of yet another election on people,” Kumaraswamy said at a public rally in Vijayanagara, Ballari, on Monday.

Kumaraswamy had offered support to the BJP previously too, in a bid to prevent several leaders from his party switching sides. As if on cue on Monday, BJP state general secretary Arvind Limbavali hinted that the exodus of opposition MLAs into the BJP will continue, saying several JD(S) legislators were in touch with his party.

Reacting to Kumaraswamy’s offers of support, Limbavali, also the party’s convener for the bypolls, said it shows their “insecurity”.

Meanwhile, rejecting the offer, Yediyurappa said his government doesn’t need any party’s support since he is confident of winning all 15 byelection seats.

Speaking at a rally in Vijayanagara, Yediyurappa said, “If we have to make it Congressmukt Bharat then it should be Congress mukt Karnataka first. It should begin here. That’s our bypoll motto.”

However, Congress Legsilature Party leader and leader of the opposition in the assembly Siddaramaiah ruled out the possibility of JD(S) joining hands with the BJP and predicted midterm polls in the state.

“I am sure the JD(S) will not support the BJP,” Siddaramaiah said. “I know the party inside out since I was associated with it for a long time. I know their mindset. Seeking a fresh mandate may become inevitable.”

Siddaramaiah insisted fresh polls are a distinct possibility in the event of the BJP not winning the required number of seats to keep it in power. “They will have to resign,” Siddaramaiah said.

Siddaramaiah also criticised the way the BJP grabbed power, toppling the JD(S)-Congress coalition government. “What the BJP did was unethical,” he said. “They poached 17 MLAs from the Congress and JD(S) and formed the government. That is why we are now having bypolls to 15 constituencies. The BJP will suffer a setback.”

On whether he will become chief minister if the BJP government falls, Siddaramaiah said the high command and the legislature party will decide.

Mangaluru, Jan 2: The Muslim Central Committee of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi has dropped its plan to stage a massive protest against the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Act and National Register of Citizens on January 4 at Mangaluru’s Nehru Maidan.

Addressing a press conference here today, committee chief K S Mohammed Masood made this announcement.

“All the 28 organisations that had decided to stage protest under the leadership of the Muslim Central Committee, have unanimously agreed to temporarily cancel the protest plan after the city police refused permission for the event,” he said.

Mr Masood requested the people, especially the youth, not to lose patience. “No one should head to Nehru Maidan on January 4 as Muslim leaders have unanimously decided to cancel the protest,” he urged.

S M Rasheed Haji, Y Abdulla Kunhi, Umar UH, Ibrahim Kodichal, B M Mumtaz Ali, Khasim H K, Mansoor Ahmed Azad and Asif Deals were present in the press meet.

Muslim organisations felicitate State BJP Chief Nalin Kumar

 

I want to know from them wat was the need for this. Has this helped the ordinary Mangalore Muslims in anyway. I would not have asked abt this if the program was conducted in your house. But here it is done in the name of Muslims. We need to stop being intellectually dishonest

We respect ur decision sir.

 

But there are a lot of questions about it on people's mind.

We need to be updated about ur next plan of action.

Are u planning to approach the court for gaining the permission from the police, bcoz otherwise I don't think we will get the permission

 

Secondly, a few days back I wanted to contact Muslim central committee office to confirm if the protest Wil be there. I googled for the no, but the no. did not exist. Does that mean the Muslim central committee does not have an office or telephone no????

This only shows how organised we are.

Requesting Muslim central committee to get their house in order. Get more professional. Also consult people to utilise various platform to responsibly collect funds from so many ordinary bearys who want to donate money, but don't know whom to send it to.

We need an action committee to handle such situations. It must consist a battery of lawyers to fight the cases filed by the police.

If our leaders are old, they need to groom new leaders into the committee.

 

Moreover, it is important to question these so called leaders about their fecilitation program conducted for making kateel wen he won the election. Wat was the purpose of such fecilitation. Becoz I don't think he gives a damn when our community suffered. I question, whether all this is done in our name only to gain your contact and flourish ur business???

Never ever dare to do so in the name of Muslims

Saharanpur (Uttar Pradesh), May 19: Islamic seminary Darul Uloom Deoband has issued a fatwa asking Muslims to offer their Eid prayers this time at home, instead of congregating at mosques.

The directive comes amid a nationwide lockdown to slow down the spread of coronavirus.

Despite the relaxations announced in the lockdown, religious and other large gatherings are still banned.

The fatwa was issued in response to a query put to the seminary, its spokesman Ashraf Usmani said.

The fatwa said the Eid namaz can be offered in the same manner that the Friday prayers are now being read at home.

It said not holding the namaz in the usual manner is pardonable in circumstances such as these.
