September 3, 2016

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).

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.

This small chaddis are brainwashed by this large chaddis...this puppies even dont know what they are doing...please educate this uncultured goons

Are they students or stone cutters? these young brains are missguided by Kalladka and his criminal gang

Feel shame to introduce our future Generations who are going to lead our Country...God Bless INDIA.

i have a Quest with both School authority as well as so called Hindu Lover's whats your problem in Muslim Women's covering their identity.Please answer.

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...

what a shame , this misfits are more concerned about what other people wanna do,
what they want to wear, eat, live, watch tv programs/ movies is their interest- their life,,

Never seen such a stupid act in life where few guys protesting against women covering themselves, these guys are brain washed by sanghis. I request you all those who wear saffron shawl against women wearing hijab. go and visit rajasthan, kanpur, gujarath. how hindu womens cover themselves to be modest.

Allah is there with us... He will take care of the issue... these trouble mongers don't have any better work I guess....

Women stage protest against CAA, NRC in Mangaluru

News Network

January 11,2020

Mangaluru, Jan 11: A large number of people from the Women India Movement on Saturday staged a protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC) here and raised slogans denouncing the newly enacted law.

Protestors were seen carrying placards that read, 'Stop diving India, Boycott CAA, NRC, NPR', 'We are humans, not criminals', 'Save India from fascism'.

"Today's youths are tomorrow's future. The present leaders are scared by the youths and are trying to wipe us out. They are scared of the students because they are raising their voices," a protestor told media.

"It started with the triple talaq, then the removal of Article 370 and Babri Masjid verdict. We Muslims kept quiet but now it is a question to our Constitution. We are not here as Muslims but as an Indian Citizen protesting against the cruelty of the BJP government," she added.

The protestor said the Central government is trying to make India a Hindu Rashtra by wiping out all other communities.

"This fascist government is trying to poison the minds of Hindus against the Muslims. After Muslims, there will be the Christian community and then other communities. The main motive of the government is to only keep Brahmins in India," added the protestor.

The newly-enacted law grants citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Buddhist, and Christian refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.
