Hindu-Muslim amity to the fore at this Urus

Kasaragod, Jan 22: The annual Urus at the 12th century Pulingome Makham, a Sunni pilgrim centre here, has religious harmony written all over it. In fact, the festivities are finalised only in consultation with a Hindu family in the area.

In strict adherence to tradition, the Pulingome Juma Masjid Jamaat committee, this year too, invited senior members of the Kamballur Kottayil family to the mosque on January 15 to finalise the festivities for the six-day event scheduled from April 11.

After the conclusion of the evening prayers, the Imam formally announced the schedule in the presence of invited guests from the family on the mosque premises, K.K. Shyam Kumar, a member of the family said.

The function was followed by a mass prayer. The guests and the local people who converged at the mosque were offered refreshments. This time, office-bearers of the nearby Sankara-Narayana-Dharmasatha temple were also invited to the ceremony, Mr. Shyam Kumar said.

Legend

Legend has it that the ancestors of the Kamballur Kottayil family migrated from “Telecherry (Thalassery) Kottayam” in the 12th century and the local dynasty chieftain vested with them control of land holdings in the region.

The family was responsible for maintaining law and order. A group of Muslims approached them, seeking permission to set up a mosque, which was granted. Eventually, permission was also granted to conduct Uroos. For around 300 years, the Urus schedule is being fixed in consultation with the family.

The partition of the family in 1942, upheld by the South Canara Civil Court in Mangaluru, validated three religious institutions falling under it — Kamballur Bhaghavathy Temple, Shankara-Narayana-Dharmasastha Temple at Pulingom, and strangely, the Pulingom Makham.

Later, the mosque came under the administration of the Pulingome Juma Masjid Jamaat committee, which too chose to adhere to the age-old tradition.

Such act is not part of Islam. It does not promote grave worship. Tawheed (Worshipping Allah alone) is the foundation of Islam. The acts mentioned above will be regarded as Associating partners with Allah (SWT)

Bengaluru, Jul 16: Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday hit out at state Health Minister B Sriramulu for stating that "only God can save Karnataka" from COVID-19 and asked him to resign from his post.

Speaking to media here in Bengaluru, Siddaramaiah said, "The government cannot say that we are helpless. Why is the government in power? You have power and you have money. It is your primary duty to serve the citizens of the state."

On being asked about Karnataka Health Minister's statement, the Congress leader said: "Let him resign and go out. God will help you only if you will put all your efforts."

Meanwhile, President of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee DK Shivakumar tweeted "Karnataka's Health Minister saying 'Only God can save Karnataka' reflects poorly on @BSYBJP govt's ability to handle the Covid crisis. Why do we need such a government if they cannot tackle the pandemic?"

Sriramulu had said on Wednesday that either people should inculcate awareness or only God can save them from COVID-19.

"Who can save us at this time? It's either God or people should inculcate awareness in them. Congress leaders are involved in political mudslinging at this time. This is not fine and it will not help them in any way," the Minister had said.

"It is a crucial time, in the interest of the general public. I request all the Congress leaders not to indulge in loose talk regarding the issue, it leads to more panic situation among the general public. We are ready to adhere to any punishment if we did any wrong thing," he had added.
