Mangaluru, Mar 28: Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, who seeking reelection on BJP ticket for the third consecutive term today rubbished the reports of secret pact with the Social Democratic Party of India as baseless rumours.

Congress leaders in the coastal district had recently claimed that SDPI fielded its candidate from Dakshina Kannada just to help BJP by dividing non-communal votes and thereby reducing the vote share of Congress in the next month’s Lok Sabha polls.

Replying to the queries of media persons on the sidelines of the BJP workers’ meet at Sullia, Mr Kateel said that Congress and SDPI leaders help each other. “BJP will not stoop to the level of reaching a secret deal with parties like SDPI. You can expect such politics from Congress leaders,” he said.

He said that during last year’s Karnataka Assembly polls Congress leaders had very easily convinced SDPI to withdraw the nominations.

“This time too Congress will convince SDPI candidate to withdraw nomination in Dakshina Kannada. Let them do whatever they want. We are least bothered. Because we are sure that BJP will register a thumping victory in Dakshina Kannada in this polls too,” he said.

May 22,2020

Mangaluru/Udupi, May 22: Two prominent Qadhis of coastal Karnataka today declared that Eid al-Fitr will be observed in the region on Sunday, May 24.

Twaqa Ahmed Musliyar, the Qadhi of Mangaluru and Ibrahim Musliyar Bekal, Qadhi of Udupi Samyukta Jamaat in their separate statements made this announcement.

The decision was taken as there was no news of new moon sighting in the coastal region today.

Ullal Qadhi Qurrathussadath Seyyid Fazal Koyamma Thangal Al Bukhari also announced that 24th May is first of Shawwal and Eid al Fithr will be celebrated on that day.

Comments

Moon sighting for the start of the month of Ramazan, for end of fastings- Eidul Fitr, for the month of Hajj and Muharram:

The moon sighting is so easy. We the people of India and have Indian Standard Time all.over India.

When we can accept the moon sighting in Delhi and announcement from Delhi as it was during times of Radio and Doordarshan news, why can we not accept the sighting of moon in coastal region of Karnataka and in Kerala?

Let us bring about change for good.

Why is rest of Karnataka or India not joining for Eid with coastal region and kerala? At the time of Radio and Dorrdarshan only days, all of India used to wait for 8.00 pm news for updates of moon sighting. So why not accept the moon signing witnesses in Kerala or coastal region?

I request all Indians to accept the witnessing of Moon sighting in any area of India and start and end Fasting.
