Masha allah a great humanitarian work by Haji S.M.Rashid and his dedicated team. Really commendable. It is need of the hour it will benefit the poor family when their breadwinner will lost their life or met with an accident. It is a unique project undertaken by its founder president. It needs encouragement and support from the DK people.
May allah reward all the members involved in this work.
Wishing all the best.

great ,really very good thinking May Almighty Allah grant long life to all of you for this noble work . we like to donate and help for this great association

Very good move by S.M.Rashid haji,I hope & pray it long last. The
similar organizations are still in existance, i.e. Central committee
with different kind of services.The condition laid before the muslim public that those who become the member of DKMA only
get benefit is bit confusing.Hope that will be solved meaningfully.

Masha Allah great association!!!!

Now the needy will get less donations and moreover surprised to note that there are no hanafi members and would like to know is this something to do like the Beary community as this should not be named DK muslim association as there are hanfai`s also in the district who have conrtibuted hugely towards the community.

Masha allah
Great formation of DKMA under the leadership of Social worker,educationist Haji S.M.Rashid. Nice to see both respectable Khazi's in the function. Keep it up your good work. May allah reward for all your good deeds. I think it is the inspiration from the GCC based NGO.
Wish all the best to all the members of DKMA.

Very good cause. Appreciate Rasheed Haji's commitment and dedication.

A great step. May Allah grant barakath to all of you for this noble step. And kindly give us information if we also can donate it as part of our zakath. If yest where and how?

Good initiative. All the best. Politicians only promise.

June 1,2020

Coimbatore, June 1: A communal conspiracy has been aborted by the police by arrested a miscreant who had placed meat in front of Venugopala Krishnaswamy Temple and Sri Ragavendra Temple in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu.

The miscreant has been identified as S Hari Ramprakash, 48, of Kavundampalayam in Coimbatore. He is a civil engineering graduate. It is suspected that He is a Sangh Parivar activist and the intention behind his act was to put the blame on Muslims.

Even though officials claimed that Hari appeared to be mentally disturbed, there were no medical records that stated he was mentally disturbed.

Two separate cases were registered against Hari. He was booked under sections 153 A (promoting enmity between different groups) 295 A (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs) and 298 (uttering words etc, with deliberate intent to wound religious feelings) of the Indian Penal Code.

City police commissioner Sumit Sharan said, “We collected CCTV footage and found a man, who had parked his motorcycle near the two temples and returned from the temples. Based on the registration number, we traced and arrested Hari.”

Commissioner added that the city has CCTV cameras in many places and it helped police officials crack the case faster. The police said he purchased one kg of pork meat from a shop at Kavundamapalaym last Friday morning and placed it in front of the temples on the same day.

PM Modi praises Karnataka’s covid battle, remains silent on unpaid salaries of front-line warriors

News Network

June 1,2020

Bengaluru, June 1: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today praised the Karnataka government for its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Addressing the silver jubilee celebrations of the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) via a digital platform, he spoke about the Karnataka government's efforts.

He appreciated the work of front-line warriors who are fighting every day in the war against COVID-19 and stressed the need to respect them.

"Doctors and other medical workers are soldiers without wearing the uniform of soldiers. Any kind of attack or violence against them is not acceptable," said Modi.

"There are incidents of violence against the front-line warriors. Any kind of abuse, violence or rude behaviour is not acceptable. The world is looking at doctors and medical staff with gratitude," he said.

"This is the biggest crisis since the two World Wars," the prime minister said. "Pre- and post-COVID-19, the world will be different. The discussions now at a global level are humanity-centric."

Stressing the importance of medical infrastructure, the prime minister spoke about the decision taken by the Union Government to set up a medical college in every district.

"A nation like ours has to have the medical infrastructure and medical education. Now, every district is going to have a medical college," he said.

However, the PM remained silent on salaries of front-line warriors. The Karnataka government has so far not released the salaries of doctors, nurses and lab technicians hired under National Health Mission.
