Mangaluru, Jun 26: For the first time in the history of Ullal, Muslims offered Eid al-Fitr namaz for two consecutive days in the same mosque, a development observed by Islamic scholars  as “most unfortunate and un-Islamic.”

With this the internal clash between two factions of Sayyid Shareeful Madani Dargah and central Juma Masjid has entered a new phase.

High drama prevailed, when a group of followers of beleaguered Ullal Khazi Fazal Koyamma Thangal aka Koorath Thangal, entered the premises of the mosque located adjacent to the dargah chanting takbir as part of Eid celebration on Monday noon.

Those who were inside the mosque, locked the doors from inside in an attempt to prevent the followers of Koorth Thangal from offering Eid namaz for the second day. Police had to intervene to bring the situation under control when the verbal altercation between two group led to a physical clash.

After a prolonged argument, the followers of Koorath Thangal were allowed to offer Eid namaz in congregation in the same mosque. Police had provided tight security for the namaz.

A majority of Muslims in Ullal had offered Eid namaz in juma mosque (dargah mosque) and other mosques on Sunday. However, followers of Koortha Thangal had observed fast on Sunday and postponed Eid to Monday.

Abdul Rasheed Haji, the president of the management committee of the Juma mosque and dargah had yesterday justified the decision of celebrating Eid al-Fitr on Sunday in spite of the sudden opposition by Koorath Thangal, who is not in touch with the committee for past one year.

“Dakshina Kannada Khazi Thwaka Ahmed Musliyar and Udupi Khazi Ibrahim Musliyar Bekal had already announced Eid after verifying moon-sighting reports from Bhatkal on Saturday night. Hence, in Ullal, assistant Khazi announced the Eid in the absence of Koorath Thangal,” he clarified.
Why two days?

Koorath Thangal was appointed as the Khazi of Ullal in March 2014 following the demise of his father Thajul Ulama Assayyid Abdurrahman Al-Bukhari, who was the Khazi of Ullal for several decades. Koorath Thangal’s several moves had triggered controversy in last couple of years.

According to sources, the reason for fresh controversy is that management committee of the mosque did not inform Koorath Thangal before announcing the end of the Ramadan Saturday night as he was not in touch with the committee.

As soon as Koorath Thangal realized that announcement of Eid was made without his permission, he sent a voice message on social media stating that Sunday will be the 30th day of Ramadan. A few clerics reportedly tried to convince Koorath Thangal to change his decision but in vain.

Eid Clashes are only because of EGO. There are two groups EK & AP who are taking people for ride. People with no knowledge of Islam go behind these fools. Y do we need any Thangal or Mullah to follow Islam? There is Quraan & haddeeth, that is more than enough. people who are half-learned scholars are creating this rift between muslim community. Educated people will never do this. May ALLAH give Hidaya to these fools running behind MULLAH & Thangal.

Despite these places being opened after a gap of more than two months, the places wore a deserted look as the people are and cautious and not ready to take of risk of venturing out amid the ongoing Corona threat.

"Business is not as heavy as expected though it was allowed after a gap of almost three months. You can see for yourself the crowd, it is not what it should have been in a commercial area like this prior to the imposition of lockdown. However, hope it will improve", a Cloth merchant B Ramesh told UNI when asked for his reaction.

Vijayapura, June 16: Even as a video of a man wearing a burqa who is being thrashed by locals is going viral on social media, netizens targeted Bharatiya Janata Party for their activist resorting to heinous acts. 

The man who was caught in burqa has been identified as Siddu Paragond, an activist of Snagh Parivar hailing from Sindgi town in Karnataka’s Vijayapura district. 

The bizarre incident took place in Sindgi on June 11 outside a bank.

“While people including women were standing in a queue outside the bank, the person in burqa was acting in a suspicious manner. The person was trying to get too close to women which was making them feel awkward,” local residents said.

“Getting suspicious, some locals tried to interact and their suspicion rose with the strange behaviour of the person. Suddenly some men took the person away from the bank and checked only to find that it was a man in burqa. The men thrashed him and handed him over to police,” the sources said.

Confirming this, Superintendent of Police Anupam Agrawal said that the Siddu Paragond has been arrested and remanded to judicial custody. He, however, made it clear that no suspicious objects were found on Siddu. “We are trying to find out the motive for his act,” the SP said.
