Sheikh Saleh bin Muhammad Al Taleb on Friday delivering the juma sermon before a mammoth gathering at the Eidgah in Rajiv Nagar in Mysuru and then addressed an Islamic conference at Palace Grounds in Bengaluru.

According to an estimate, nearly two lakh Muslims had converged at the ground to listen to the Imam in Mysuru. People started flocking the grounds from 10 a.m., ahead of the arrival of the Imam, who came at 1 pm.

The 10-minute discourse was followed by a mass prayer. When the prayer concluded, people vied with each other to touch the Imam.

In Bengaluru too the number of participates at the Imam's event was beyond expectation. This is the first time in the history of these two cities a foreign scholar attracting such large crowds, it is sad.

Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah welcomed the Imam to Karnataka.

On Sunday, the Imam launched the Peace Internet Radio set up by the Wisdom Global Islamic Mission at Mini Ooty, near Malappuram in Kerala. He also laid the foundation stone for the new academic block of Jamia Al Hind Al Islamia. The round-the-clock radio will have 52 programmes meant to propagate values and wisdom among adults and children.

Ballari, Jan 5: Thousands of Muslims, joined by the members of various organisations, on Saturday staged a massive protest in the town condemning the provocative speech by Bellary MLA G Somashekar Reddy.

The police caned the agitators after they tried to lay siege to the house of BJP legislator.

The protesters holding national flag took out a rally from Kaul Bazaar, which passed through the major streets, and culminated at Gadagi Channappa Circle. They raised slogans against the BJP and burnt the effigy of Somashekar Reddy.

The protest sent the traffic haywire Gadagi Channappa Circle and the cascading effect of it was seen across the town. SP C K Babu told the agitators that the MLA has been booked for making provocative speech and pleaded them to hold a protest at Municipal College grounds. But the agitators were in no mood to relent.

Inspector General (Bellary Range) I G Nanjundaswamy has rushed to the town to oversee security. The BJP MLA on Friday made inciting remarks against minorities during his speech at a pro-CAA rally in the town.

FIR against Reddy

The Gandhinagar police in the town on Saturday registered an FIR against MLA Somashekar Reddy, for making a provocative speech, under IPC Sections 153 A (promoting enmity between two religions), 295A (insulting religious beliefs) and 505B.

During his speech at a pro-CAA rally on Friday, Reddy had said, "Hindus are 80% of the population while minorities are 17%. What will happen to you if we hit back? Hence, you should be very careful about your moves and steps."

The legislator came down heavily on those staging protests against CAA in Ballari. "We won't keep quiet if another protest is staged against the CAA. Each Hindu is like Shivaji. Nobody will be alive if all Hindus come out to streets holding swords," he had said.

Somashekhara Gowda, a senior BJP leader in Koppal’s Gangavathi died of covid-19. His family members were reportedly quarantined. His own party activists also were not ready to participate in the last rite due to the fear of coronavirus infection.
