Belagavi, Mar 6: Posting pro-Pakistan slogans Facebook wall of a Muslim man after hacking his account and subsequent protests by BJP and right-wing outfits in Ramdurg town were pre-planned according to former Ramdurg MLA Ashok Pattan.

On Sunday night, police arrested Nagaraj Mali for hacking the Facebook account of Pattan’s supporter Mohammad Shafi Benne and posting pro-Pakistan slogans on Friday. Before the arrest, BJP staged a massive protest in Ramdurg on Saturday and MP Suresh Angadi at SP’s office on Sunday demanding Shafi’s arrest.

Addressing media persons here on Tuesday, senior Congressman Pattan alleged that it was a conspiracy to defame him. How did over 500 workers gather within a few minutes of the Facebook post and shout slogans against him and Shafi, he asked.

Pattan alleged that BJP MLA Mahadevappa Yadawad and his workers had caused a communal disturbance in Ramdurg on Saturday and urged police to take action against them. He said he and Benne would file separate complaints against the MLA and other workers who called them anti-nationals. “My father and mother were freedom fighters. I don’t need to take lessons of patriotism from BJP leaders,” he said.

Ashok Pattan said following his initiative, a 78-foot statue of Lord Shiva on the outskirts of Ramdurg town was inaugurated last year. It’s the second tallest in Karnataka after the one at Murudeshwar and the place is gradually growing as a tourist spot. Last year, over 1 lakh people visited the spot and this had irked his opponents.

Pattan said the statue is Shafi’s brainchild and he manages the arrangements at the spot during Shivaratri. “My opponents targeted Shafi and me to ruin Shivaratri celebrations,” he said.

Former Belagavi MLA Firoz Sait said it was an old trick of the BJP to raise communal issues during elections. Police should look into the motive for such actions. District Congress (rural) president Vinay Navalagatti and city block president Raju Sait were also present at the press meet.

Burial of Covid-19 victims cannot be denied for any reason: Karnataka Waqf Board

News Network

July 17,2020

Bengaluru, Jul 17: The Karnataka State Board of AUQAF has ordered that management committees at Muslim Khabarastans, shall not refuse burial to Muslims died due to COVID-19.

"...in exercise the powers conferred under Waqf Act 1995, it is hereby ordered that management Committees/Muthawallies/Administrators responsible for the management of Muslim Khabarastans in the state of Karnataka irrespective of registered or unregistered in the Waqf, shall not refuse the burial of Muslims died due to COVID-19 pandemic," read an order from the Karnataka State Board of AUQAF on Thursday.

"They shall co-operate with all the Nodal Officers designated for this purpose regarding the decent burial. Non co-operation or refusal on the part of the management will be construed as an insult committed to the deceased. Any violation of the above order will attract the punitive provision of Indian Penal Code and removal from the management as per the provisions of the Waqf Act 1995," the order read.

It further said that the Waqf Officers, District Wakf Advisory Committees of the state, shall ensure the adherence of this order, and circulate the same to all the Khabarastan managements, registered or unregistered in the state.

"No further deliberation in this regard is solicited except compliance of the order in letter and spirit. Any dereliction in this regard will be viewed seriously," it read.

Giving a background on the issue of burial of COVID-19 deceased, the order read, "It is observed that, number of deaths are being occurred in various Districts of Karnataka, due to COVID-19 pandemic and it is reported that, some of the management committees of Khabarastan, are not cooperating to bury the dead bodies of COVID-19."

"A decent burial is a right of the dead person" as per the law of the land and the Islamic jurisprudence. It is needless to emphasize the importance of burial of Muslim dead bodies in Shariah. The dead body of a Muslim is treated with the utmost respect by the Ummah, joining in the funeral (Tadfeen), participating in the Namaz-e-Janaza and the burial are considered as Farz-e-Kifaya in Muslim law. According to the tradition of Islam, the person who participates in the funeral is entitled to Mountain sized reward (Sawaab)," the order read.

As per the order, the board, in its earlier circular had also cautioned the management of Waqf institutions and Khabarastan which were reluctant to allow the decent burial in the Khabarastan would be punished under the provisions of Indian Penal Code and the punitive provisions of the Waqf Act 1995 as well.

"The District Magistrates and the Superintendent of Police in the districts have been requested to prosecute the erring management committees who are responsible for non co-operation in this regard. Hence, the following order," it added.
