Mangaluru, Nov 18: Dakshina Kannada district in-charge minister U T Khader has warned the government of Goa that Karnataka too may impose ban on fish from the tiny neighbouring state if it fails to lift ban on fish from Karnataka.

Speaking to media persons here, Mr Khader, who is also the minister for Urban Development and Housing, said that his cabinet colleague and fisheries minister Venkatarao Nadagouda will hold talks with his Goa counterpart to resolve the issue.

Mr Khader said that Goa government has no proper evidence that fish from Karnataka is laced with formalin. “It’s a baseless allegation by Goa authorities,” he said.

“If they don’t lift the ban, we will not allow fish from Goa in to Karnataka. Fifty percent of the people in coastal Karnataka eke out their livelihood from fishing. How can they ban it overnight?” he questioned.

Goa fish trucks sent back

Meanwhile, on Saturday, four trucks laden with fish from Goa were turned away from the Karnataka border at Polem after a huge crowd of local fishermen, fish traders and trawler owners gathered at the spot to protest the decision of the Goa government to ban the import of fish from other states.

Mangaluru, Jul 31: Muslims across coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada today observed Eid al Adha following the safety guidelines issued by the government amidst covid-19 pandemic.

While coastal Karnataka is celebrating the festival of sacrifice today, it will be observed in other parts of Karnataka and country tomorrow.

Congregational Eid prayers were held in many mosques while ensuring physical distancing norms. Only 50 devotees were allowed in mosques. Children below 10 years of age and elders above 60 years of age weren’t allowed.

Eidgahs in the region wore a deserted look as the government has temporarily prohibited prayers in the open grounds. The Eidgah at Lighthouse Hill in Mangaluru, which usually witnessed huge crowd during Eid celebrations, was also closed this time.

As expected, the celebration this time was a low key thanks to the restrictions placed in tune with the threat of coronavirus infection.

Prayers were held in Kudroli’s Nadupalli and Bundar’s Zeenat Bakhsh Central mosque. All those who entered mosque were wearing masks.

In Udupi city, Eid prayers were held at Jamia Masjid and other mosques with limited number of devotees. In Bhatkal took some of the mosques hosted Eid prayers with all precautionary measures.

Sedition charges against Dr Zafarul Islam Khan for warning bigots sparks row

May 2,2020

Newsroom, May 2: The Delhi Police’s move to book Delhi Minorities Commission chairman Zafarul Islam Khan under sedition charges over his social media statement condemning Hindutva bigots has raised many eyebrows.

A pubic statement has been issued in solidarity with Zafarul Islam Khan by a group of NGOs and citizens which condemned the media trial targeting Khan.

The statement demanded legal action against those who are distorting Khan's Facebook post and spreading false propaganda against him.

Delhi Police Special Cell registered the FIR against Khan on the complaint of a Vasant Kunj resident. The complaint came to the Lodhi Colony office of the special cell, after the assistant commissioner of police (ACP) Safdarjung Enclave forwarded it.

The investigation has been handed over to special cell inspector Praveen Kumar.

According to the FIR, Khan has been booked under several sections of the Indian Penal Code -- 124 A (sedition) and 153 A (Promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, etc,).

Khan on April 28 had posted controversial comments on his Facebook page. "Mind you, bigots, Indian Muslims have opted until now not to complain to the Arab and Muslim world about your hate campaigns and lynchings and riots. The day they are pushed to do that, bigots will face an avalanche," Khan had written on Facebook.

However, the Delhi Minorities Commission's chief on Friday had apologised for his controversial remark and had said that he never tried to tarnish the image of India. He also removed the controversial post from the social media and issued a prolonged clarification.
