Mangaluru, Sep 3: Terming the anti-Hijab agitation launched by a group of students belonging to Hindutva groups at Dr K Shivarama Karantha Government First Grade College in Bellare in Sullia taluk as “undemocratic”, Popular Front of India (PFI) and Campus Front of India (CFI) have urged authorities concerned to maintain the status quo in allowing Muslim girls to wear scarf (hijab).hijab1

A section of male students of the college have started wearing saffron shawls in the class to registering their protest against Muslim girls wearing scarf. While the college has 495 students, 19 are Muslims and 15 of them are girls.

In a media release, CFI Karnataka unit has demanded religious freedom for Muslim girls in the college by allowing scarf. It pointed out that Muslim girls studying in the college have been wearing scarf as per their Constitutional and religious freedom for several years.

"Though Muslim girls were wearing scarf as per tradition for several years, it has never been an issue and neither had it created any obstacle in the college. Wearing scarf is a compulsory dress code for women in Islam. Our Constitution agrees to it. Further, scarf is a symbol of respect for women too," the release stated.

A delegation of PFI members have met Sullia taluk tahsildar and Bellare police to take the issue seriously by taking action against those who are trying to make the issue communal.

"Everyone in India has their own customs and traditions and our nation has unity in diversity. Hence, we must learn to live harmoniously by respecting each other in India. However, it is unfortunate that a section of students have been opposing Muslim girls wearing scarf with communal agenda. Students and their parents have already met the principal and submitted a memorandum urging the college authorities to allow scarf for Muslim girls and uphold the Constitutional values," the release added.

It is Good that people recognize what is evil and what is Good.
People have also started to learn more about ISLAM
ISLAM in media is different than ISLAM described in QURAN.
People should know ISLAM in QURAN rather than depending on ISLAM in media of cheddis
People also started to know that even SITA WAS COVERING
People also learnt that MARY was also COVERING their head.

Those women who COVER, Should be PROUD as their are following the Divine revelation and dont worry about the consequences... ALLAH's help will be with U.
Those who want to reject the covering should Learn what God says in every religious scripture on women's covering.

Dont side with the EVIL by supporting its agenda...

Mangaluru, July 29: Justifying the transfer of Dakshina Kannada deputy commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh, district in-charge minister Kota Shrinivas Poojari has accused Mangaluru MLA U T Khader of politicizing the issue. 

The IAS officer was transferred by the Karnataka government on July 28, a day after a saffron activist issued a death threat against her on social media after she warned of legal action against the miscreants who attack cattle traders.

Condemning the development, Mr Khader had tweeted that the state government has punished the deputy commissioner instead of punishing the culprit, who issued death threat.

Responding to Mr Khader’s tweet, Mr Poojari said that the transfer of the officer was on administrative ground. “It is unfortunate that Khader politicized a transfer carried out by the government on administrative ground. This is not Khader’s time to protect any accused,” tweeted Mr Poojari. 

It is worth mentioning here that Mr Khader was the district in-charge minister of Dakshina Kannada before Mr Poojari taking over the position. 

Meanwhile, police has arrested a person in connection with the death threat against the IAS officer.

Gadag, May 9: It is the month of April, and the season of mangoes is very much here. However, the mango farmers of Gadag are suffering huge losses amid the coronavirus lockdown due to the absence of transportation facilities along with several other issues that have been impacting their business adversely.

Speaking to media persons, Vishwanath Odugowdar, a mango farmer said, "Due to transportation problems we are not being able to export mangoes to different countries. We are trying to sell them in nearby markets."

"We are not in a situation to pack, transport and export the mangoes to different countries as we did earlier especially 
when it comes to Alphonso mangoes which is one of the most loved varieties. So, we are packing mangoes at our place. Somehow this year we have got very good quality of mangoes," he added.

Farmers here are incurring huge losses as mandis and markets across the country are shut while the transport of Alphonso mangoes has also come to a halt owing to the lockdown.

The small and medium scale farmers in places like Gadag, Dharwad, Bagalkote in north Karnataka have started packing the mangoes themselves in their farms in a bid to sell the fruit themselves.
